“You called me stupid!”<\/p>\n
“That’s all you can say? I say we’re in a book called Sheldon, and that’s<\/i> all you can say? I mean really, Sheldon.”<\/p>\n
“People have feelings, Charlotte. You can’t just go around calling someone stupid.”<\/p>\n
“Technically speaking, you’re not people.”<\/p>\n
“Oh, we’re being technical now, are we? Suddenly you’re a stickler for the rules. And what do you call what you just did?”<\/p>\n
“Um, breaking the fourth wall?”<\/p>\n
That stopped him short. “Yes, I guess that is what you call it. But you can see why I’d be upset here, don’t you?”<\/p>\n
“Not really,” Charlotte shook her head. “I mean, why should you care if I bend a few literary conventions? Is it any skin off your nose?” She peered at him more closely. “Do ghosts even have<\/i> skin?”<\/p>\n
“You are so missing the point.”<\/p>\n
“And what is the point?”<\/p>\n

“The librarian in Ghostbusters?”<\/p>\n
Sheldon snorted. “That was a comedy. Totally doesn’t count. Anyway, here I was, firing on all cylinders, and you just let the air out of the balloon.”<\/p>\n
“That was a mixed metaphor.”<\/p>\n
“Whatever. My point stands. It was my scene, and you made it all about you.”<\/p>\n
“My my,” Charlotte said, shaking her head in wonder, “you really do have feelings, don’t you?”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
