Do you ever do and say things that you have no idea you are going to say or do before you say or do them?!

I just made a complete fool of myself in a supermarket I'd not been into before.

I wanted a wee so went in to see if there was a customer toilet (I was going to buy stuff in there too!). A helpful young man must've seen me wandering aimlessly around and asked if he could help. I said "oh no thank you, I'm just looking for my husband".

I don't know WHY I said that - I didn't know I was going to say it before it came out of my mouth. I don't even have a husband (well, I do in a manner of speaking I suppose but he's dead) - and then I had to do some more aimless wandering pretending to look for my imaginary husband.

And I still need a wee.

We used to call this The Lie Thing at uni 😂 every now and then one of my friends would be like "oh no I did the lie thing!" Just telling a random lie and not really knowing why 😂 it was honestly never planned just every now and then it would happen. I remember my housemate buying a band t-shirt from a market stall thing and randomly saying "it's for my brother" and then looking slightly horrified as he had a whole conversation about his brother's taste in music - he didn't even have a brother 😂

I've not thought about The Lie Thing for ages! Although I did once accidentally tell someone I had twins when I was out with my (single) child and then had to pretend his twin brother was at home

Well I'm very pleased to hear it's not just me!

Have you perhaps always had a subconscious desire for twins?!

No, I'm the opposite. If I had gone in wanting a wee I would have stood outside going through all the different scenarios that might occur before going in. Then get cross with myself for worrying so much so I end up looking like a mad woman on a mission 🙄
