I’m talking on Skype to my psychoanalyst who is in Canada.
Analyst: So are you following the election?
Me: Yes, of course! I can’t wait for it to be over because the suspense is killing me.
Analyst: Yes, I know! A friend of mine just went over there to work as an observer.
Me: Ah, that’s cool!
Analyst: She says it’s a beautiful country. Just fascinating. It’s sad that more people don’t care what happens there.
Me (thinking): He is messing with my head! What is he on about?
Analyst: She is staying in a small town close to Kiev.
Me: I’m sorry, what are you talking about?
Analyst (probably thinking): Jeez, she’s crazier than I thought. (Saying aloud): The elections! The elections in Ukraine.
Me: Oh, Ukraine! I’m so over that. Ukraine is hopeless, so I don’t follow what happens there. It’s the important election I’m following. The one in the US!
Analyst: Oh, that election!
Me: Yes! The good guys really need to win this one.
Analyst: Sure. The good guys being. . .?
Me: Well, the ones who are the good ones, obviously.
