Being a mind reader would be fun, right? Sometimes, yes, but other times you might hear things you don’t want to hear. Listen in on Mason’s thoughts with Ella and see why they might make her feel a little awkward as he cleans around her desk.

Mason: Ella is looking smokin’ hot today! I will totally clean that desk!
Ella: Wow. Sweet.
Mason: Oh, hey, Ella. How’s it going?
Ella: It’s going pretty fabulous. How about you?
Mason: Yeah. It’s…It’s good. I’ll tidy things up real nice. So, you know, just gonna help tidy up a little bit.
Ella: Yeah. Thanks.
Mason: Keep the office nice and…
Ella: Yeah. I’ve been busy and haven’t had time to clean up around here.
Mason: ...spick-and-span. You know, maybe I should just get under your feet there. You mind scooting down a little bit?
Ella: Oh. OK.
Mason: Thanks. Look at those legs. Those are mighty fine. I bet she exercises, like, twice a day.
Ella: Oh, no. Oh, no. Stop looking at my legs! Stop looking at my legs!
Mason: So, how’s it been going?
Ella: Going good, you know, trying to keep profits going for the company here.
Mason: Uh huh. Her hair smells nice too.
Ella: What!? How close is he? I didn’t even shower today.
Mason: Why is she backing away? I’m trying to be nice and clean. I mean, she doesn’t know what I’m thinking. Or does she?
Ella: Don’t be awkward. Don’t be awkward. Don’t be too obvious. No. I can do all this myself, actually. Yeah.
Mason: You sure?
Ella: Yeah. I don’t mind. It’s OK. No.
Mason: I like to help out my lady friends. That’s how I roll.
Ella: But OK, you know.
Mason: Well, uh, talk to you later.
Ella: Yeah. Bye.

Discussion
Mason walks in to clean the office when he notices that Ella is looking good today. Since she can hear his thoughts, she’s flattered when he thinks that about her. But as he cleans around her desk, he continues think about how attracted to Ella he is, and it begins to make her feel uncomfortable.
Ella backs away from Mason and he wonders if she knows he likes her. If he only knew she could actually read his mind!
What would someone find if they read your mind?
