The Scarecrow

Troy: “What’s he doing?”

Me: “The doctor is looking up your nose to see your brain.”

Troy: “He can’t do that. There’s no brain up there!”

Doctor: “That’s another problem entirely.”

Me: “What if he looked in your ear, would he see your brain then?”

Troy: “No.”

Me: “So, he’d just see through to the other side? There’s nothing in between?”

Troy: “No, he couldn’t see my brain because there’s little flaps inside my ears that keep him from seeing it.”

Me: “But you’re sure that your brain is in there though?”

Troy: “Yeah, I think so.”

Me: “Hmmm. That’s not very convincing. I think maybe he should look up your nose again.”

Troy: “No!”
