– What is lateral thinking?
In: 499
I remember as a kid walking along, chatting to my year 5 teacher, and I said something, god knows what, and she straight up stops walking, tilts her head to one side, pauses for (what felt like) a long time, then says “…sleepiestcatmum, you really are a lateral thinker, aren’t you?”
As far as I can tell from that exchange, lateral thinking means there’s some cog in your brain that just don’t work the way other people’s do. Distinctly remember my head working overtime to figure out whether I’d been complimented or insulted.
