When I first tell someone what I do for a living, they almost always say, “Wow! You must be smart!” I always reply with modesty, which is, I’m pretty sure, how one ought to handle that kind of polite comment. But I think someday I’m going to say in a loud, boastful voice, “Yes, I am. I’m fricking BRILLIANT!” just to see what happens.
Do you ever want to behave outrageously just to see what would happen?
