I really can’t handle being asked this question. And I really don’t like asking it either. For one, I don’t care what someone else is thinking at any random moment. For two, I think some things should be left private. For instance, if I happen to be thinking, “Gee, I really need some new underwear,” well, I don’t feel the need to share that with someone and I don’t think I should have to in order to get “closer” to them.
WHAT ARE YOU THINKING? Is also a question I was always under the impression “chicks” asked, and since I don’t ask it, I didn’t think I’d ever have to deal with esoteric thinking in my relationships. But that’s not true, Modern Americans. Dudes ask it. And now I need to have some kind of pool of “thoughts” that I can pull from in order to appease certain males in my life.
Perhaps these will work: I am thinking about….
How fantastic you are.
The state of American foreign policy.
How much I like your hair.
Holiday weight gain.
Carol Channing(??????)
Sylvia Plath’s head in a stove.
Turkey Dinner.
The fact that you never take me out to dinner.

Meet the Press.
Hmmm…maybe I’m pregnant.
See. You don’t want to know what us chicks are thinking about. So don’t ask. K?
