Example conversation of my brain talking to my brain:
Brain: "hmm. My lips feel chapped. My skin must be dry - the air must be dry in here, I'll get some lotion."
a few hours later:
Brain: "geez... I keep putting on the chapstick, but they still feel SO CHAPPED."
an hour later, while visiting the bathroom at work:
Brain: "What the hell??! Why are my lips all swollen and peeling looking? How did I not notice this before??"
Brain drifts back to some 4 days before... Discovering a bag that hadn't been used in quite some time:
Loud Voice in Brain: "Ah! I forget all about this chapstick! It's fancy Aveda chapstick, with built in SPF 15! Perfect for my day outdoors.
Small Voice in Brain: "wait... I almost remember something about this..."
Loud Voice in Brain: "Oh, and it feels so good! How did I forget about this!
Small Voice in Brain: "Was there a reason maybe I stopped using this..."
Loud Voice in Brain: "So creamy... and it smells so good! mmmm...."
Small Voice in Brain: "Like maybe an allergic reaction? Was I allergic to this?"
Loud Voice in Brain: "YUM! I will take you with me, and reapply you all day long!"
And back to the present while staring at swollen, pealing, freakish looking lips:
Brain: "Ah. Yes. Funny I didn't remember that earlier..."
I didn't throw it away. It's out there somewhere waiting to be rediscovered in a bag again... and I bet my brain will not remember it all over again, and again be delighted over the awesome discovery.

I just put Brothers K out on display at work!
is it a "young adult" book, too?
At least your brain is talking. Mine does more of a whirring sound, like when you hear the washer going. When I try to ask it questions or probe it for information, it just ignores me and keeps on whirring.
Not young adult, and someone checked it out today! That offset the fact I had to look at an old lady on the toliet
I think your brain whirrs better than my talks, Blay.
Skate - please explain old lady on toilet.
