Aunty Acid by Ged Backland for June 18, 2021

Or a stop button.

Can’t be done. But the unconscious mind often has a way of solving problems that the conscious mind is struggling with. That was true in school and in life.

I’d love a pause and/or a fast forward button.

I would like a replay and a mute button.

definitely don’t want a rewind button…

I just want a stop button for ear worms.

So today is a monumental day…we see what AA’s problem has been all these years. Her brain is not inside of her head!!

Still obsessing about the pool boy, Aunty?

I’d like a memory upgrade.

Same here, for just about every comment made so far!

Chill Auntie, it’s all in your head.

Just go out of your mind.

That’s something to think about, Aunty!

A Do Not Think About button wouldn’t work. An experiment many years ago divided people into three groups. Group 1 was told to spend 5 minutes thinking about anything they wanted to, but they were specifically told not to think about a white bear. Group 2 was told to think about anything they wanted to, including a white bear if they so desired. Group 3 was told to think about anything they wanted to. No one in Group 3 thought about a white bear, several in Group 2 did, but everyone in Group 1 said they had thought about a white bear.
