Today while eating lunch at the kitchen table, Rachel and I had this conversation after I noticed she was being unusually quiet (unusual because it never happens that she's not talking!):
Mom: What are you thinking about, Rachel?
Rachel: I'm not thinking.
M (laughing): But you have to be thinking about something.
R: No, I'm not.
M (trying a different approach): What's going on in your head?
R: I don't know. (Silence) It sounds like mice are running around in my head.
Maybe next time I'll just enjoy the silence and not try to understand why.
