My Son was playing his PS4 but he was very quiet. When I got near him, he was looking at the control. And I asked, "A penny for your thoughts." And he replied, "I know what I want for Christmas, a new video game."

I'm not a person who is always aware of my surroundings, and this is a problem for me, because, when I get home and sit on the sofa, my wife Josi starts a conversation. Many times I stay inside my mind and don't hear her. And she always says "A penny for your thoughts", Junior...

My mother and I were having a conversation about my grandmother because she had been to the doctor for an appointment. When I asked my mother what was wrong with my grandmother, she didn't listen to me. I called her three more times and nothing. I came near her and she was looking at a book. And I said, " A penny for your thoughts , mom." And she replied, " don't worry my daugther, I'll tell you later."

A penny for your thoughts, so, she said...Sorry I was thinking about 10 years ago when we talked just about beer and parties LOL! Good times!

I'm very busy during the day and at night my mind is really tired. This is the reason why, many times, I stare at something but not thinking of anything during dinner time. My wife looks at my face expression and asks "Penny for your thoughts?". There is nothing to say but never believes me.

I have a friend who is very shy. When he was a teenager he had a dream to be someone important in the future. Sometimes he used to be quiet for a while, looking somewhere thinking about something. I always thought of giving him a penny for his thoughts. Despite having no clue of what was going on on his mind, he became a successful person. Today he is rich and can buy whatever he wants. I wish I could turn the hands of time and really give him a penny for his thoughts. Maybe I would share his thoughts and be as rich as he is today.

I take part of a group of pharmaceutical industry managers, who meet monthly to discuss relevant topics, considering the best market practices. Last week we met to discuss people management. And this is a very controversial topic, with many different points of views. It’s very difficult to Talk people. As expected, in the middle of the meeting, we were all lost with many disagreements. Most of the participants were trying to come up with their own arguments. As usual, I started trying to interpret and reconcile the differences. But unfortunately, I ended up getting lost in my thoughts. That was when my colleague said to me, Alex, what’s going on, A penny for your thoughts. I said to him, that I was trying to find a way to use all the ideas and make the discussion more productive. My colleague smiled and said to me: This is impossible my friend, it will not end up well, we are talking about people. And in the end, we really didn't come to a conclusion. But the debate was very interesting.

My father was a great economist even though he had never studied economics during his life.

When my parents bought their first house, my father worked long hours a day to pay for that.

Many times I found my father calculating numbers and how to get money to pay for everything. Every time I said "Father, a penny for your thoughts" he always thought a different thing to answer me and never transferred his concerns to me.

We have the right to think as the right we have to breathe. So that we must respect that people have freedom to think freely. But if you give a penny for somebody's toughts, you may get something that you will not like.

I was at work, doing several things at the same time, reading e-mails, talking with clients, and when I looked at my friend, she was standing, looking at the window. I spoke to her “A penny for your thoughts”. She smiled and spent an hour talking about how she broke up with her boyfriend. I think next time, I'd better save my penny!

My friend Maria and I were at out favourite restaurant, just having lunch and catching up with the news. However, she was unusually quiet, so I asked her: "Maria, a penny for your thoughts?"

She looked pretty embarrased and told me it was nothing, but I wasn´t buying that. After a few more tries, I finally got something. She said: "It´s just...well, it´s kind of stupid, honestly. I´ve been thinking about singing. Like, taking singing lessons. I know it sounds silly, specially at our age, but it´s just something I´ve always wanted to try."

She was very nervous about what I was going to say and then she said: "A penny for your thoughts?" I didn´t think it was a stupid idea at all. I thought it was amazing! She was afraid she was too old to begin learning something new, but I believe that you´re never too old to try something new. And if singing makes her happy, then she should totally go for it.

Everybody knew that the examination would be hard and all the students were feeling nervous and the examination would be no less but the most difficult we have at school, chemistry. But one schoolmate seamed very relaxed and not to worry about that. The day of the examination her mood turned from relaxation to complete despair. We had about an hour to finish the exam and I finished mine 15 minutes before the time was out. When I looked at her, her exam paper was all blank and she had not answered any of the questions and was looking up. I am not a gossip person but I would give a penny for her thoughts.

Yesterday was my grandson's birthday, Benjamin. He turned 8 years old.

At the moment he had to make a wish before cutting the cake he was very thoughtful and spent a long time looking at the cake. His mother shouted, "now Benjamin" and he blew out the candle. I would give him a penny for his thoughts.

The other day we were having dinner at home and I asked my son how his day had been at school but my words just fell on deaf ears. So I asked again but there was no answer. So I poked him and said, "A penny for your thoughts." and he replied, "Dad, I'm thinking about how to kill the master in the game." We all laughed at the answer and the funniest thing was that in the end, he wanted to charge me some money, because he disclosed his thoughts, lol.

In 2021 I lived in São Paulo with my family but my husband and I decided to return to Rio de Janeiro. My older daughter had many friends at school and one best friend who travelled with her and did many things together. When she learned about that, she got very sad but she didn't want to talk anything about that. I tried to talk to her but she didn't say anything. I would pay a penny for her thoughts.
