There comes a time when you start talking to yourself. Not, as the meme goes, because you need an expert opinion, but because it is sometimes better to talk things through then to think them through.

The hubbinator talks to himself quite a bit. I usually end up hearing part of an intriguing conversation–where are you getting 10 grand from? Who died?

His conversations are sometimes better than the ones in my head.

But I digress.

Yesterday, the hubbinator overheard me say call 9-1-1. Naturally, he jumped up and rushed down the hall, ready to do battle. Who needs 9-1-1?

Apparently, he had heard the interesting bit that I had spoken. When I explained that my hero had just left her burning house but the villain had caught her (the Villian had said to the neighbor to call emergency services while he planned to suffocate her), the hubbinator was not impressed.

At least, I wasn’t talking to myself, but dictating a scene into my iPhone.

Until next time, stay healthy.
