Rock, Paper, Scissors
So today, I went to get my oil changed and the lady who was working had her little 7 or 8 y/o daughter with her (Ashley). I usually don't pay attention to children because I don't want to deal with them. So I watch the tv that is set up in the corner and ignore the little girl's glances/stares my way. FInally, she goes behind the desk and grabs something. She sits down in front of me and, finally, not caring whether I'm looking at her or not, asks me to guess what is in her hand. She's shaking it all the while. I smile at her and say, "a box of candy." Ashely then asks what kind of candy. I reply, Nerds. She opens her hands and reveals the Nerds.
Immediately, Ashley then asks me to play rock, paper, scissors... I figure the game as everyone knows it... nope. She holds her hand behind her back and asks me what it is. I get the first 5 to 7 right, when she finally exclaims, "How do you keep doing that?" So for the next several hands, I guess against what my mind is telling me... which my mind always proves to be right.
She then wants me to have her guess... so I do, and she gets the first one right... so I test out a theory and think a different word or leave my mind blank as she guesses. Those she continues to get wrong. I prove my theory correct. For every time I think a different form, she says that I keep changing my hand... which I don't ever. For everytime I keep my mind blank she doesn't say anything, she just makes a "I lose" sigh lol.
I find it hilarious that we were playing the 'psychic' version of rock, paper, scissors. And though I perposely lost so that she wouldn't ask me that question again, I got more then my fair share correct lol.
She may have been 'reading' my mind, but I was projecting my mental vision to see what was behind her back, though she did always have what she held in her mind.
Do you think I was promoting her doubting herself and abilities by messing with her?
....
Now I sort of feel bad.
