Don't you hate it when you're sharing a silent moment with someone at a restaurant, when suddenly he/she asks you "what are you thinking"? And you're kinda caught off guard, because you were thinking of something REALLY stupid (for example you were wondering how that crack in the wall grew so big and how maybe--just maybe--some magical elves chisel away at it every night). So you're too embarrassed to tell that person what you've been thinking about for the past half minute. But said person thinks it must be something really "deep and introspective" and insists that you tell them?

You say "nothing". But they don't believe you. So you tell them hoping they will just laugh. At first they look blankly at you. Then they look at you as if you have a cabbage for a head. Then they get up and walk away slowly?

Yeah, I hate that too.

Check please.
