Charlotte Anne and Her Incessant Me Conversations
Charlotte Anne is an incessant talker
does not listen long
stays on track
back to herself no matter what the topic is
“I know. My family was a piece of cow dung”.
“It is a wonder no one molested me.”
“That reminds me of my life.”
“I did that once.”
“That is my story too.”
“My friends all turn on me.”
“My relatives hated me.”
“My mother said she wished I would have died.”
Me, me, me, I, I, I, self, self, self, self, self.
I say “Wasn’t that horrible about Nancy Pelosi’s husband?”
“It’s a wonder my family didn’t do that to me!” she replies.
I have run out of ideas now as to how to turn the conversation.
I guess I may have to turn on her too.
