There is something of Cleary's Ramona here and flickers of Anne of Green Gables and her struggles against convention. She is dark-eyed, droopy-hemmed and full of life. Young Renessa Blitz gives a delightful performance as the main character. That Scatterbrain Booky has been made into a well-scripted film by Moss Productions.īooky is a child of the Depression, with a father who resents having to "go on relief," an older sister who wonders if she should quit school and look for work as a waitress, a mother valiantly stretching not enough food over too many days.
Many of us have enjoyed the "Booky" books, a series of autobiographical novels by Bernice Thurman Hunter.

I'd say "Welcome to the club," but I seem to have misplaced our membership materials.
Here are eight telltale signs you’re a full- fledged scatterbrain.
So if your thoughts pour out at a speed that your brain can't seem to process and more than one person has described you as " all over the place," I feel you. But being scatterbrained doesn't mean you're not smart - we're some of the most intelligent and creative people around, because our unfocused minds enable us to be highly imaginative (which is totally a fair trade for all those time we left the house with the curling iron still plugged in). As someone who has come to terms with my scatterbrained tendencies, I can attest to having what feels like a dozen thoughts going on inside my mind at once -which on more than occasion lead to a misplaced cell phone and house keys left hanging in the front door. This overload leaves our working memory unable to process things (like what we were doing a minute ago, before we got distracted) clearly.
For a true scatterbrain, daily life is both a struggle and infinitely interesting - and the internet has nothing to do with it.Ī recent study of those of us who are prone to this kind of accidental flakiness suggests that our tendencies are caused by having a lot of “ seemingly irrelevant information” overwhelming our minds. Yet, as those of us whose tendency to forget our keys in the mailbox or our coffee on the car roof started way before the advent of Twitter know, there’s a line between getting easily distracted now and then and being a full-fledged scatterbrain. In this era of information overload, it’s easy to point our fingers at the internet and all its glorious distractions for turning us into scatterbrains.
