I wish I could read minds.

Congratulations, you've gained the ability to read minds. However, you now realize that it's not reading minds that you really wanted to be able to do, it's seeing thoughts. As it turns out, reading minds is a lot like reading a movie script, before the movie has been made. Yeah, you get the idea of what's going on, but without direction, acting, blocking, lighting, sounds, and props, it's not really a good representation of what's really going on. In another way, it's also a lot like text only email: kind of hard to tell whether something is sarcastic, or really hurtful. As a result of your newfound ability, you take much longer to speak to people as you muct read through the transcript of their thoughts before replying, and you often get confused about intentions, and often start arguments of misunderstandings. On the bright side, as time goes by, you begin to read much faster, now that you get so much practice. Bonus dude!

I wish I could better follow my wife's pattern of loose associations.
