“I dunno, from what I've talked to you, you seem smart.” “Thanks?” I found it hard to take that compliment. Not from her in particular, but I know I'm smart and I know that others know it too. When people say it, it is to me as if they are stating that the sky is blue or sugar sweet. I'm sure if you could tell sugar that it was sweet, it wouldn't take it as much of a complement. It was just so unquestionably true that it left me little where else to go.
