What is the most tenacious parasite? A bacterium? Virus? Intestinal worm? Idea. It is tenacious and highly contagious. Once an idea takes over the brain, it's almost impossible to get rid of. I mean a fully formed idea, fully realized, settled in your head.

Inception

On behalf of Joanna:

- Why did you put me behind the wheel? - Asked the brown-haired man as we drove out of the parking lot.

- I guess because I wanted to. - I answered.

- You're so indifferent...

- Oh, we're talking. Henry," I turned to him, "didn't you confess your love to me?

- That was a long time ago, in case you've forgotten...

- So you don't love me now?

- I don't know...

- What? - I screamed, - yes, I'm just a super-duper girl.

- That's what you think...

- Why are you talking in such strange terms?

- Joanna," he looked at me and turned onto my street, "you're a nice girl, but, your temper, it's the worst thing you can be...

- You insulted me!

- No, I told the truth.

- Since when is the truth not an insult?

- Just admit that I'm right. - He pulled into my yard and looked at me, and added, "Good to see you. - As he started to get out of the car, I grabbed him by the hand.

- Don't go...

- Why not?

- My mother is making blueberry pie, and I think she'll be glad to see you.

- I have a lot of things to do.

- And they're more important than me?

- Oh, Joanna," he exhaled, but then he added, "okay, just for a little while.

The boy and I went into the house and then my mother saw Henry and was very happy.

- Hi, Henry. - She hugged the brown-haired man," I'm so happy to see you.

- Thank you, Aunt Isabella, thank you.

- Joanna show Henry to the bathroom. - She said, and went to close the front door.

We were helping my mother make blueberry pie, well, to tell you the truth, Henry was helping, and all I did was eat blueberries and raspberries.

- Thank you Henry for your help. - Mama said.

- Do I get a thank you? - I brought it to my attention.

- You didn't do anything, Joe. - Mama answered.

- Come on, I brought Henry to our house, and that wasn't easy to do.
