8.       Accidental Charisma/Accidental Lying

As I said we have really vivid imaginations so when we get fired up about something we envision it SO CLEARLY that if you were to hear us talking about it you would think we’re already seen it and watch its progress.

Which makes our enthusiasm super contagious and gets a band of followers behind us…very unconsciously. And of course if you imagine something so clearly and are so hyped about it, well when the actual thing isn’t as good/as doable/doesn’t even exist…that might get you accused of lying. Or thinking you’re just encouraging people but then they start going to you instead of the actual authority in place…Or that time you were talking about “running away” (surely we all had that phase, right??) but just for fun but your friend was younger than you and actually believed it…Or when you give overly-specific examples that make people a little concerned…😉

9.       Time does not exist

We do not “get” the concept of “it takes a moment to get from one room to another and back again so yes we will walk away while you’re talking genuinely thinking that the sound waves will travel with you and you’ll be back in a split-second before the other person has said another word.

Orrrr replying to a text from Rose on Pinterest at the same time Mom is telling you how to cook the spicy chicken casserole thinking it’ll take such a split split second you won’t miss a word and then “…so start at 3:15.” And you’re like 0.0; “sooo I prehead the oven at 3.15?” very blankly and she sighs and rolls her eyes.

But that was still WAYYYYYY BETTER than the time I asked threw the door open to ask Mom a question while she was outside and she answered it and she was still talking but I forgot she was still talking and I had to go do thing before I forgot and so I slammed the door closed. And then a second later realized what I’d done and swung open the door I swear that is the nearest near-death experience I ever done had!!!!!

I think that’s about it…
