From
what I understand there is a term people use when they want to imply a person
is being dumb. They ask the person, “Were you born yesterday?”
I
take offense to this.
I
was born yesterday and frankly I’m not anywhere near dumb. During the past
twenty-four hours, I have mentally adjusted from living underwater to living in
the open air. I have started memorizing a custom-made lexicon of sounds so that
I can eventually translate a completely unfamiliar language. I have altered the
schedules of enough people to fill a small town.
What
about you? What have you done the past twenty-four hours?
That’s
what I thought.
......and, by the way, I came equipped to learn any language you would have me speak!
