[Following a read of a book called The Human Body]
D: How does your brain make you who you are?
Me: Because your brain tells you what to think and everything you do is because your brain has told you to do it.
D: Is my brain telling me something now?
Me: I don’t know – you tell me.
D: …All I can hear is “whooosh”.
Me: Your brain just told you to say that.
D: Nooo – my brain just told me to say that??! And YOUR brain just told YOU to say that???
Me: That’s right.
D: [Starts poking at his head] Stop it, brain – go away!
Me: It’s a good thing – your brain is the most precious thing you’ll ever have. Your brain will help you to do anything you want to do!
D: Anything? Don’t go away, brain. Stay in there. Even when I’m asleep.
