Brain Splinters

I hate splinters. It seems like half the time, you can barely see them, yet any time you bump against one there's a stabbing pain. Wherever that splinter is, you avoid using that appendage lest it poke. It's the same way with brain splinters.

People always seem to have sensitive areas, thing they don't want to talk about. You mention an ex-boyfriend, or going to the dentist, or telling their spouse what's really bothering them, and they wince like you bumped into a splinter. A splinter in their brain. People will do anything to avoid that splinter.

"Honey, when are you going to tell your mother she can't stay here for two weeks?"

"Um, uh, hey look, it's Bigfoot!"

What are your brain splinters? hmmmm?
