I talk good

"I think like a genius, I write like a distinguished author, and I speak like a child."
~ Vladimir Nabokov

I'm a great thinker, a good writer, and a bad talker. I think faster than I can talk about certain things, ideas about which I'm passionate. I can think and then re-think it and modify what I think until it's right to me on words written. I can edit what I write, but how can I change what I blurt? I can flirt on my feet. Flirting is nothing of substance. If someone asks me a serious question though, I like to think about my answer before speaking. Maybe because as the youngest of 4 kids, I had the opportunity to think before I had a chance to speak out. I wonder if Vladimir is the youngest in his family?

Hey, at least you're not blurting out things like, "Well, at least just try to suck on your pickle!" or "Can I put my nut-dust in your can?" Or, "Bill's are ginormous!"

LOL
