Are we crazy?

A co-worker asked me this morning, "Have you noticed the older you get the more you talk to yourself?"

"Are you kidding?" I laughed with her. "I have a whole conversation with my grocery list when I'm shopping!" We both laughed and started to compare situations and I ended the conversation by saying, "people leave you alone when they see you talking to yourself, they must think we're crazy."

I told her I was glad I wasn't the only one who talked to myself. But it got me to thinking. What must people think when they see me talking to no one? Are they jealous because they aren't brave enough to do it? Are they afraid someone will baker act them? Why do we talk to ourselves? And don't deny it...you know you do it, too.

Then we went on to talk about gravity but that's a whole nother story...

Don't worry, for those of us who do it now have something else to blame, the cellphone, pretend you're on one.

I think Mary is right -- we'd just assume you were on the phone

You're right, Mary! I've actually seen a few people talking to themselves and wondered, "are they talking to themselves?" And you know what...they were actually on the phone! Some of them use those ear pieces.
