The Space Between
I had a space between my ears; it was empty. Or so I thought. I spent years conditioned to believe that whatever I had rattling around in there was useless, and definitely didn’t allow for my own thinking. In fact, whatever rattled around in there rendered my mouth useless, too. It seemed that, even though I had graduated with honours and headed to college a year prior to when I should have, sometime between when I met my first husband and we got married, it melted. I’m not entirely sure how I didn’t feel it turning into sludge as the weeks went by, and no one is really quite sure how I let that happen. My sludge brain made a family, brought little ones up and they mostly manage to function like normal human beings, except sometimes, like in the morning, or bedtime, or lunch time...OK, all the time. But basically, I raised small chimpanzees and they are doing just fine.
