Which material do you think your thoughts are made of? The same material as your leg?

Some thoughts tickle inside my own head. It’s funny: thoughts are just little electrical balls that don’t know much about the world, yet we listen to them a lot. Not that they are useless—you also need thoughts. To find your house, for instance, or to know that it’s not smart to walk into a wall.

I mostly tickle these little buggers back. I especially adore the most annoying ones. In their attempt to help me, they often make things worse. This is my thought, for instance, that always says, “We shouldn’t do this—the most horrible thing is going to happen.”
