The Quiet Ones

"And I swear," Applejack yelled out across the table. "She just kept on going like there was no tomorrow! I'm telling ya, Granny, that pegasus is going to get herself killed!"

"Applejack, what did I tell you about yelling? I'm hard of hearing, but you'll wake the dead at this rate." Granny Smith responded across from her. "Why can't you be more quiet like your brother?"

"Like Big Macintosh? You're kidding, right? He never says ANYTHING! Ain't that right, Mac?"

I never can say anything because you refuse to cease speaking long enough for me to share my thoughts. I can't go anywhere without ponies saying I'm simple minded because they never hear me speak. It is just not true! I have three science PhD's for Celestia's sake! I am a philosopher and an activist for equality and think of only the greater good! I have quite intellectual conversations when given the opportunity but given your habit of speaking without thinking, I am not given the pleasure of having said conversations., and another thing, dear sister, you are not the one in charge of this household, you may be the face of the Apples, but without our Grandmother's knowledge, my work ethic, and dearest Applebloom's creativity you wouldn't have any home at all, let alone one of the most successful businesses in Equestria. I for one am ashamed that you have such a closed mind and refuse to see another's point of view just because it is foreign to you. It has come to the point of racism, and I will not be associated with a Tribalist. Ah, to the moon with it! I'll play along for your sake, you poor, naive fool.

"Eeyup." Big Macintosh replied slowly.
