"You're kidding right?"
Amelia looked at Sookie with a straight face and nodded.
"No I'm deadly serious. I've found the cure to your telepathy."
Sure Sookie was driven nuts by peoples thoughts but she was getting better at blocking things out. It wasn't easy and it would certainly help with relationships with men now that she was single again.
"I'm not sure what you mean."
"Sweetie I can help you block it out. Isn't that what you've been praying for all your life?"
Sookie had a hard time growing up especially when she got confused about what she was hearing out loud and what she was hearing inside someone's head.
"Would it be gone forever?"
"I'm not talking about getting rid of it. I guess I said it wrong. I found a way for you to turn it on and off so to speak."
"And I have to wear chicken bones?"
"I have some left over from a spell I did."
Sookie wondered about the spell but decided not to say a word. She wasn't sure that she wanted to know.
"Okay let's do this."
Amelia went to get the chicken bones and Sookie sat down at the kitchen table hoping she wouldn't laugh since the whole thing sounded ridiculous but if it could help her with not hearing thoughts she was willing to do anything.
"Here you go Sookie now strip."
"Pardon me?"
"Oh I forgot to mention that you have to run over to the cemetery naked wearing this wreath of chicken bones."
