Challenge
What goes on in your head when someone is talking and you don't want to listen?
Just like the prompt says, answer the question in any format. Examples: A child when a parent is scolding them, a coworker goes on for too long at a meeting, students in class, a patient when the doctor is giving bad news, etc. Use your imagination and your writing chops!

I was here the whole time
I was here the whole time,
listening to what you said.
I wasn't paying attention though,
I watching a movie in my head.
Totally toning you out,
because it's not what I want to hear.
Come back tomorrow and start over,
Oh, wait, next year.
Excuse me for not listening,
you know I'm just a girl.
But sometimes I have other things
more important in my world.
Rude of me to stare at you,
while you speak your mind.
Looking at you while you talk,
I was here the whole time.
