My old man once said to me, "your thoughts are so random and unconnected. We were just talking about the carnival- how did you get started on wasps?"
So, I told him, "they're not unconnected- we were talking about going to the carnival, and the carnival is on the same fairgrounds they used to use for the rodeo, and one time at the rodeo my brother spilled sprite on himself and a bee went up his shirt and stung him, and bees die when they sting, but wasps don't, and I was wondering why, so I asked you."
And he said, "that makes no sense," and for the life of me I can't understand how anyone thinks of anything if not by this exact process
The best part of ADHD thinking (which this is) is when you weren’t paying 100% attention to where your brain went and then you realize you’re thinking about something, like the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, and you have to try to trace your own thoughts backwards because the last thing you remember thinking about was potato soup.
