things Juan says when I'm sorting beads
Apr. 9th, 2024 07:31 pmWell, OK, just one particular thing. But it still makes me laugh as if it's the first time. Long ago he poked his head into my workshop while I was sorting in some new beads, and said cheerfully, "Counting flax seeds, sweetie?"
(Half a century ago, there were stories about supernatural creatures that could be distracted if one strewed seeds in front of them, because they'd start counting the seeds and not be able to stop until they'd done all of them.)
Edited to add: Whether or not the supernatural creatures had ADHD with hyperfocus the way I do is an open question, I guess.
