Internal Dialogue

Left Big Toe: What the hell?
Left Middle Toe: What's up?
LBT: Did you just feel that?
LMT: Feel what?
LBT: That tingling sensation?
LMT: ....no.
LBT: It kinda felt like--WOAH! There it is again.  You don't feel that?
LMT: Feel what?
LBT: That.  That tickling feeling.
LMT: There is no tickling feeling.  Nothing's tickling us.
LBT: There's definitely a tickling feeling.  How are you not feeling this?
LMT: Dude, I'll prove it.  Hey, Pinky?
Left Pinky Toe: Yeah?
LMT: You feel any tickling?
LPT: No.  No one's tickling us.
LMT: Yeah, thanks.  Hey, Inbetweenies?
Left Third Toe: Don't call us that.
Left Fourth Toe: Yeah, don't call us that.
LMT: Whatever.  Are you feeling a tickling sensation?
L4T: How do you mean?
L3T: A sensation?  Of tickling?
LMT: Yeah, do you feel like you're being tickled?
L4T: .....
L3T: .....
LMT: Simple yes or no question, guys.
L3T: If we were being tickled, then so would you.
L4T: Yeah.
LMT: I know.  That's my point.  Big Toe here says he feels a tickle.
L4T: Then why don't we?
LMT: That's what I'm trying to figure out.  Maybe he's faking it.
LBT: I am not faking it.
LMT: Maybe he's hallucinating.
LBT: I am not hallucinating.  WOAH.  Definite tickling sensation here.
L3T: If he's hallucinating, why would we feel it?
L4T: Yeah.
LMT: Christ.  You wouldn't.  That's my point.  Just--nevermind.  Go back to collecting lint or whatever it is you two do.
LBT: I'm not making this up.  And consensus of the moron twins doesn't count for anything.
LMT: Pinky didn't feel it either.
LPT: That's true.
LBT: Whatever.  What about the Right?
LMT: Now that doesn't make any sense.  Anyway, I don't feel like talking to them.
LBT: Fine.  I'll ask.  Hey, Right Toes?
Right Big Toe: What?
LBT: Any of you guys feeling a sort of tickling?
RBT: No.
LBT: Well, what about the others?
RBT: If I don't feel it, why would they?
LMT: Because Big Toe over here is the only one who can feel this supposed "tickling."
LBT: Shut it.
RBT: .....
LBT: Look.  I'm just asking you a favor, toe to toe, see if any of the other toes can feel anything.  OK?
RBT: .....hold on a second.
LMT: Why is that guy always such a dick?
LBT: I have no idea.
RBT: They said no. 
LMT: Ha.
LBT: I'm not delusional!  I feel a god damn tickling.
LMT: Hey, BT.  Calm down, alright?
LBT: No!  I'm tired of this patronizing bullshit.  I am being tickled.  I don't care what you say.
LMT: Jesus.  Hey, Brain?
Right Brain: What is it?
LMT: Big Toe here is losing his shit.  Says he's being tickled, but none of us feel a thing.  Neither does the Right.  Man that Big Toe over there is a dick....
RB: Is he delusional?
LBT: I AM NOT DELUSIONAL!
RB: .....
LMT: .....so anything going on that could maybe explain this?
RB: Hang on....Left Thumb is getting sucked.  That's all I got.
LMT/LBT: What?
RB: That baby.  He's sucking on Left Thumb.
LMT: ....
LBT: Well why am I feeling it then?
RB: I don't know.  What do you want me to do?
LBT: I don't know.  Can't you impede that shit or something?
RB: It's automated.  Knee-jerk.
LBT: Oh sure.
RB: What?
LBT: What?
RB: What was that?  Was that attitude?  Was that disbelief?
LBT: Well how many times do you use that whole knee-jerk excuse?  I mean, come on.
LMT: He's got a point.
RB: You're saying I'm consciously sending tickling sensations your way and just your way?
LBT: Well....
RB: The fuck would I want to tickle you for?
LBT: I don't know.  I don't know what goes on in that mind of yours.
RB: But definitely toe-tingling tendencies--that's what you're saying?
LBT: Yeah.  That's what I'm saying.
RB: No wonder you guys are at the fucking bottom.
LBT: WHAT?
LMT: Hey fuck you, pal.
LBT: Try getting around without us.  Try even just standing without toes.
RB: One word, Stinkies: paraplegic.
LMT: You're sick, man.
LBT: That's not even funny.
RB: Then leave me the fuck alone.  Alright?
LBT: What an asshole.
LMT: Right?
LBT: WOAH!  There it is again.
LMT: That's really weird, man.

True story.  My nephew was sucking on my thumb and I could feel it in my toe.
