Clavicus: I’m about to fix it
Lady1: aww, i’m sorry bout that..
Clavicus: Ok, I took some bc powder
Lady1: some what?
Clavicus: it’s a kind of headache medicine
Lady1: oh, really? i’ve never heard of it..
Clavicus: so how’s it going with Lee?
Lady1: great.. =) just amazing.. i talked to him today, and i’ll most likely talk to him later tonight after he gets off of work..
Clavicus: oh cool
Clavicus: I wish I had a job
Clavicus: I need money
Lady1: me too, lol.. i never have any..
Clavicus: So I got to hang out with Hollie last night. She’s one of the only friends I have here
Clavicus: I’m pretty happy about that
Clavicus: and it was her idea to hang out, too
Lady1: oh really? sweetness..
Lady1: i have my little cousin coming over and my friend tonight..
Clavicus: word
Clavicus: hey, I want to try something with you real quick, okay?
Clavicus: it’s easy
Clavicus: ready?
Lady1: ok..
Clavicus: ok, read this sentence: “Mary and John walked by the bank.”
Lady1: okie.
Lady1: i did..
Clavicus: now in your mind, did you imagine them walking by a financial institution or by a river bank?
Lady1: i imagined them walking by the institution thing..
Clavicus: PERFECT.
Clavicus: thank you
Lady1: ok, lol..
Lady1: would you mind telling me why i had to answer that?
Clavicus: it has to do with consciousness and awareness. you can secretely put key words in someone’s head in order to plant ideas. by mentioning money earlier, I made you more likely to think of a financial institution. If I had used a word like water, you would have probably imagined a river bank.
Clavicus: make sense?
Lady1: oh, yeah, it does make sense..
Lady1: that’s cool, lol..
Clavicus: yep

LADY TWO

Clavicus: hey buddy
Lady2: heya
Clavicus: what you doing?

Lady2: cereal
Clavicus: mmm
Clavicus: I’m fighting this headache
Lady2: that sucks, got any tylenol?
Clavicus: I took some BC Powder
Clavicus: so it should be ok
Clavicus: but I had to go and buy a Dr. Pepper so I could have something to drink with it
Clavicus: cuz I didn’t want to take it with water
Clavicus: that would’ve been gross
Lady2: why would it be gross?
Clavicus: BC Powder and water just taste horrible together, I don’t know why
Clavicus: do you know what BC Powder is?
Lady2: seen it, my aunt uses it
Lady2: but not realy
Clavicus: ah
Clavicus: can I try something on you real quick?
Clavicus: it’s easy
Lady2: um ok
Clavicus: ok, read this sentence: “John and Mary walked by the bank.”
Lady2: ok
Clavicus: now, in your mind, did you imagine them walking by a financial institution or by a river/lake bank?
Lady2: at first river lake thingy an then I thought of building
Clavicus: the first thought was the lake bank?
Lady2: yep
Clavicus: hmm
Clavicus: okay then.
Lady2: >.> ok
Clavicus: how do you think your mind decides which image to settle on when there are two equally valid meanings like that?
Lady2: no idea
Clavicus: did the lake bank really stick out more than the building at first?
Lady2: yeah
Lady2: an then I was like oh maybe he’s talking about a bank like the building bank
Clavicus: ok then
Clavicus: that’s perfect.
