I've decided recently I need to be more impulsive. It's the exact opposite of what parents spend their lives trying to teach their children. When I was eight years old, I stuck a pair of tweezers in a light socket...impulsively, since at eight, I was really "old enough to know better." When my mom asked, "What were you thinking?" I did my characteristic shrug and "uh uh," (which is eight year old for "I don't know.") But I actually had a better answer than that - the same one I thought every time one of my parents asked exasperatedly, "What were you thinking?"
