If I weigh ninety-nine pounds, and eat a pound of hay-chos, does that mean I'm one percent hay-cho? I thought to myself.

"Hey, that's a good question, Gummy!" Pinkie Pie bounced over to Gummy.

I thought of the pink blob of energy and excitement as a mother. Nothing more, nothing less. It's the only one who understands me. The one who takes care of me. I do believe it's name is 'Pinkie Pie', or it's real name, 'Pinkamena Diane Pie'.

Which orange came first? The colour ,or the fruit? I thought to myself again.

"I know, right? I guess we'll never know!" Pinkie bounced up and down.

If you get out of the shower clean, how does your towel get dirty? I've always wondered.

"Y'know, I've always wondered that too, Gummy!"

The only part of your reflection you can lick, is your tongue. I've just realized.

"Hey, that's true!"

The asteroid that killed the dinosaurs technically killed thousands of birds with one stone. I learned that from another Gummy.

"Hey, did you go to the human world to find that out? I did too!" Pinkie chirped.

The reason dogs love squeaky toys is because it sounds like small animals dying. Winona told me that.

"... Gummy, that's kind of morbid."

When you clean a vacuum cleaner, you become a vacuum cleaner. I'm not wrong.

"Your aren't wrong, Gummy!" Pinkie sat down.

Foals think stallions have all the freedom, and Stallions think foals have all the freedom. Same here.

"Sometimes I do think that, but I always prove myself wrong!"

Honey is the tastiest of all the insect vomits we have tried so far. I've never tried honey before.

"Huh, I wonder if Fluttershy knows about that. I'll ask her later If you remind me!" Pinkie smiled.

You've only opened your eyes one more time then you've closed them. I blinked.

Pinkie blinked.

The more you know about the world, the more unbearable it seems. I've always known this.

"Well that took a turn!"

Your boring job or life is probably the dream job or life of someone else. I don't think any other pets would want mine. 

"Hey, my life isn't boring!" Pinkie raised an eyebrow.

Arcades are just a way for foals to gamble legally. I bet she's never thought about that way.

"Wow, I've never thought about it that way!"

The type of pony who actively wants to be in a position of power is usually not the type of pony you want to be in power. Like Celestia.

"Are you talking about Princess Celestia?" Pinkie raised an eyebrow.

Feeling not good enough is often what drives ponies to be great. Like mother's friend, Twilight Twinkle.

"Her name is Twilight Sparkle Gummy, but, close enough, I guess!"

Somepony owns the sharpest knife in existence, and probably doesn't even know it. Maybe mother owns it.

"I wonder if I own it, Gummy!"

In your dreams, you are laughing at your own jokes. Mother does that all the time.

"I do?" Pinkie asked.

Customer service people are technically actors and actresses. Except for mother.

"I act like my same old self serving ponies at Sugarcube corner!"

Folding laundry is kind of like a date, If you like each other enough. I wonder if mother's other friend, Rarey, goes on dates with her clothes.

"Her name is Rarity, Gummy. I'm gonna need to teach you my friend's names more." Pinkie tapped her chin with her hoof.

Isn't it funny how teenagers like to flex about how expensive their things are, but adults like to flex about how cheap things are? I mused.

"When I was a teenager, I didn't do that!"

Tall ponies are expected to use their help to help shorter ponies, but when a tall pony asks a short pony to help them pick something they dropped on the floor, it's insulting. Except unicorns, I think.

"I don't think unicorns would do that. But i remember Fluttershy did that with Rainbow Dash once!" Pinkie laughed.

I stopped thinking for a while for my mother to stop laughing.

"Ooh! I have one!" Pinkie thought for a second. "Why do pizzas come in a square box, made as a circle, and eaten as triangles?"

They both went silent and contemplated that last one. they both stared at each other, reading each other's minds with specific answers to the thought.
