A:
I'm giving up videogames until the end of the year.
B:
Really? Why?
A:
Well, you know how I've been kind of grumpy a lot lately?
B:
Haha, yeah, I noticed. Do you think it's videogame-related?
A:
No, not at all. But I have no idea what's causing it.
B:
So...
A:
So I figured I should just intentionally do something that will make me grumpy, then I'll have an explanation.
B:
What?
A:
Well, like a week from now, I'll be grumpy and think, "Yeah, you've been working so much that you haven't had time to play videogames" and then I'll feel better about being in a bad mood.
B:
But, you'll also remember that you're causing your irritation intentionally, right?
A:
SHH! I'M TRYING TO REPRESS THAT THOUGHT AND YOU'RE NOT HELPING!
