Wow. I love this story. I myself am a slow processor. But this does not mean I am stupid. I take time to think, and think slowly, so I'm not witty in repartee and able to show off in that way in conversation. Luckily, I don't care about showing off. It's much more interesting in my brain than out there trying to impress other people with party tricks! I find this story moving and compelling and deeply validating of me as a woman and someone who thinks differently than many others. Thank you for writing it! I love your caption too. I had to laugh that the woman's name is Buttercup. :p
