Me, glancing up and seeing The Intern standing in my office doorway silently (God knows how long he was standing there, instead of knocking or saying something like a NORMAL HUMAN BEING): Oh! Good morning.
Intern: Hi, how are you?
Me: I'm fine. And you?
Intern: I feel powerful!
Me: *blank stare* What??
Intern: I feel, you know, energy!
Me: Oh.
I walk away, but he follows me into the kitchen. I just need a freakin coffee so I can attempt to deal with him.
Intern: How was your weekend, er, I mean, week, er, um, how was your last night after leaving the work office?
(That's what he actually said, verbatim. I shit you not.)
Me: *blank stare*
Me: It was fine.
Intern: Ow! *grabs the back of his head*
Me: Um, are you okay?
Intern: My head hurts.
Me: What happened?? You should get that checked out.
Intern; Oh, it just itches.
Me: Does it hurt or itch? Those are pretty different things.
Intern: Itches.
Me: Maybe you should get that checked out anyway.
WTF?????
And all this happened BEFORE 9am. At least let me finish my first cup of coffee first so I have a fighting chance!

I keep playing this over and over in my head and it gets funnier every time.
