I don’t know why, but Gary and I have been having communication problems lately.
At least five times in the last week one of us has shouted, “I DISTINCTLY HEARD YOU SAY THE WORDS [fill in the blank]” followed by “I NEVER SAID THAT. I NEVER SAID [fill in the blank]” followed by “YES YES YOU DID I HEARD IT WITH MY OWN EARS WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU.”
And it’s both of us. And on top of that, the problem arises immediately. I’ll say, “So, I see, you did [XYZ]” and he will shout “I NEVER DID [ABC] HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT” and then “I NEVER SAID [ABC] I SAID [XYZ]” etc., see above.
I think I know what’s going on now, because at 6:36 this morning, I was coming out of the bathroom and I heard him say, “Hey, Ellen, got a minute? I need you.”
I padded into the room. “You need me for something?”
“How did you know I wanted to talk to you?”
Because you just said, “Got a minute? I need you.”
“I didn’t say anything.”
“I DISTINCTLY HEARD — Oh. It’s this again.”
So evidently we’ve been communicating telepathically, and we’re new at it, hence our communication difficulties.

Jane Eyre is not a novel I’d recommend emulating. But otherwise, yep, checks out reasonably well. (you did know that some of the brain lesions were alien implants, didn’t you? and now they’ve hooked up Gary as well…)(kidding.)(obviously?)(I hope that was obvious.)
KC – Gary and I were discussing how I can now hear his unexpressed thoughts. Suddenly, he gasped, “Brain shadow!”
Of course! It all makes sense now… (it is *hilarious* that he came up with that!)
