Chapter 28: At the Beach
Brain: Ahhhh, the beach. We just love it here at the beach.
Toes: Yes! SO nice to be out. Greetings, sand, good to see you again.
Heart: I must say, this really is the place where we can all be happy.
Brain: Great. Now let's get to work. Hands, find something to do.
Hands: You know? I think I kinda like it here, just resting on the tummy, doing nothing.
Brain: No, no, no. That won't do. Let's get out the computer. There's always something we need to do there. Come on. Let's write a book!
Common Sense: We're on the beach. Do you know what sand would do to the computer?
Brain: What? It's all silicon, right? I don't see the problem.
Common Sense: Oh, if I only had a palm. And a face.
Brain: The REAL problem is that no one is working here!
Hypothalamus: Again, I get NO credit for keeping us alive with breathing.
Lungs: Yeah, I mean I'm not working HARD, but I'm liking the salty air I'm getting here.
Brain: Heyyyy, that gives me an idea! Here we are, with nothing to do...
Common Sense: You know, sometimes doing nothing IS doing something.
Brain: Who are you trying to be, a fortune cookie? Well, what I was GOING to say is let's get moving! Here's our opportunity to go for a long run on the beach.
Legs: Danger! Danger! Brain is trying to take away our rest!
All: Noooooo!
Brain: Bwahahaha! Yes! This is what everyone raves about. Lungs, you even said you love this air.
Lungs: Well, yes, but I prefer to get it in small doses at a time, not huge gulps.
Eyes: Nope, I have 3 reasons we can't leave this spot. Two are playing in the ocean right now and one is here in the sand.
Brain: Drat! I forgot about the kids. How do they get away with doing nothing?
Eyes: Trust me, they are far from doing nothing! Look, that one is building a sand castle. Remember doing that?
Long Term Memory: Oh yes! I remember... wait, something's getting in the way.
Data Recall: Yep, sorry, you don't need all that old stuff. We need to make room for important stuff like baseball players' batting averages, and TV channel numbers.
Common Sense: Hmm. Looks like I need to sit down and actually sort some of this stuff out.
Brain: So, no computer, no book writing, no running. What the heck are we supposed to do?
All: Nothing!
Brain: Well, at least that's something, I guess.
Hands: Good. Because we're not moving.
Toes: Yes! SO nice to be out. Greetings, sand, good to see you again.
