The Chicken’s Therapy Session
A chicken walked into a therapist’s office, sat down, and sighed deeply.
“What seems to be the problem?” asked the therapist.
The chicken leaned forward. “Everyone keeps asking me why I crossed the road, but no one ever asks how I feel about it!”
The therapist nodded sympathetically. “Why don’t you tell me how you feel?”
“Well,” the chicken began, “it’s exhausting. People just assume it’s some joke. But what if I just wanted a change of scenery? Or maybe I was running away from my problems? Nobody ever considers that.”
The therapist smiled. “You’re more than a punchline, my friend. Why don’t you take some time to explore your reasons?”
Weeks later, the chicken returned. “You know what? I crossed the road because I wanted to. And that’s enough.”
The therapist clucked approvingly, “That’s growth.”
