Thinking villager??

Wow, I've never noticed this before, but it's just one of ACNL quirks, I guess.
I think I may have caused it when she asked herself a philosophical question...

Has this ever happened to you?

Usually villagers only get like that if you talk to them too many times! It's a cool down period where you can't engage in normal conversation with them.

Happened to me with Canberra once. I hadn't really talked to her all that much, though.

^ Yeah, and sometimes villagers can do that after shaking a tree or having a chat with another villager
