ANOTHER "EPIPHANY"

 As I have mentioned before, my brain never stops.  Even when I am asleep I have crazy and entertaining dreams.  When I am awake I am always thinking about what to do next or where I should be. At least I don't hear voices . . .  yet!

This morning The Man woke me from a sound sleep to tell me I had to get up in TWO hours.  Thank you Mr. Man!!!!   It is Saturday, I do not need to be anywhere or do anything until 3:00 but my "little helper" thought he was doing a good thing.  OK, I'll give him a pass on that one. 

(I am doing a bible study on Genisis 1-8.  Very interesting study with a LOT of information that I never realized was there.  SIN is the big topic this week and I am feeling guilty of a lot of that.  As a result I am     REALLY trying to control my impulses to murder The Man.  So far it is not working well.)

As I made my morning trek through the kitchen on my way to the bathroom The Man was in his usual spot at the kitchen table.  I said good morning, (I wanted to ask why the hell he woke me when he did but I realized that was a lesson in futility.). He muttered something that I took to mean, "good morning" and then said no more.  So I continued to walk to the bathroom. As I was closing the door behind me I heard him say something.  (I have previously written about this most annoying habit of his to speak to me as I walk away.).    Now it is at this point that I have 2 options . . .   ONE,  stop,  turn around, retrace my steps and ask him "WHAT? . . .  OR . . .  TWO,  just keep going because I know it is nothing important.  Because I was pissed at being woken up I chose option #2.      It was then that my epiphany struck. 

Men's brains work much slower than women brains.  It takes more time for a thought to travel from the brain of a man to his mouth.  Once he thinks of something in his brain the response time to any action takes a LONG time.  

Women's brains work much faster.  We are already in motion before our brain fully considers the situation.   We are thinking as we are acting.  Or in my case, my mouth is already speaking before I fully consider what I am saying.  And THAT can get you into trouble.  

I often think about "panic" situations.  A man will have to THINK about what is happening and what his response should be.  A woman will spring into action thinking as she goes.  

I'm not saying one is better than the other . . . but holy crap . . .  stop talking after I have left the room !!!!!!
