I forget words a LOT, so I end up making new ones or doing vague hand gestures, or both. One time, I forgot the term for shears and I just said "tree scissors".

- I put my plate in the fridge instead of the dishwasher
- I put my socks in the trash can instead of the laundry basket
- I went to the wrong class. Twice in a row.
- I referred to Johnny Depp as Jack Sparrow. A few minutes later I called Phone Guy "Phone Man."
- On a chat with Rose, Donut, and Betta, I spent like two weeks thinking Rose's messages were coming from Betta and then asked Rose why she hadn't been on the chat (when in reality they were the most active person in the chat lol)

One morning I accidentally put the cereal box in the fridge, and the milk in the cabinet. I was really tired that morning. 😅

I tired to tell my friend I loved her bag, ended up just saying 'I love you', and then walked off.

I was working for a theatre company. We were in a meeting and I was referring to the next show in the season. The show was called, "I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change." I couldn't for the life of me remember the exact title, so I just said the closest thing I could think of which was, "Trust Me, I Love You, Now Die." It was an honest mistake (that was just the first thing that popped into my head ), so we had a good laugh. Those would be two very different shows though!!

I fed cat food to my dog and dog food to my cats. For some reason, my dog was elated, but my cats were less than happy

I once answered a question on my Spanish assignment in German. I suppose that’s what I get for doing my German Duolingo the night before.

Somewhat similar, but I asked to go to the bathroom in Spanish (terribly, I don't speak Spanish, I don't know how I did that) in my German class yesterday and the teacher didn't even bat an eye

Just today I accidentally put the laundry detergent in the bleach dispenser. Then I thought I'd "fix" it buy putting more laundry detergent in the detergent dispenser. I had to put my clothes in another wash cycle just to make sure all that soap was rinsed out well.

Also today, I had started boiling water to make my daughter a heat pack. But I got lost in FB short videos and completely forgot about the water. I realized just in time to see that there was about a tablespoon of water left in the pot. XD
I was having a very absent-minded day.

When I was younger I was in a honors class,
We were playing this game idk what it was but the word “election” appeared.
We were supposed to make a definition for election and my brain just broke and thought election was a science word ☠️ . By the way this was in a HONORS CLASS -

Today I made myself an ice tea. Got some lemon juice in a cup with an ice cube, pulled the powdered ice tea mix from the cabinet, stirred some around.

Then I picked up the mix.

Opened the fridge and nearly put it in before I was like “Wtf am I doing” 💀

I regularly call the dish washer the washing machine. Everyone in my family just rolls with it now.

Also, one time my friends and I were talking about the Heroes of Olympus and I said that “Leo’s Chinese Canadian right?”
I meant Frank 😭

Once I forget what kangaroos where called so I called them muscley rabbit people. I've almost put my dirty silverware in the trash instead of the sin, multiple times.

My electric car has a dial type indicator to show the power used or regained through regenerative braking. If you've never seen a variometer, it looks almost the same. A variometer is an instrument in aviation to (in simple terms) let you know how fast you are rising or sinking. I drove home from gliding, glanced down at the power dial and concluded my car was losing altitude at a considerable rate. Thankfully it was only for a tiny second.

A couple years ago we got a dog, not a dog that my father wanted, he only got him because my mother wanted him, just maybe a month ago the dog sadly passed, but maybe two months into owning the dog I had a dream where I was in the backyard throwing his favorite toy for him and for the next 3 weeks I proceeded to have that same dream over and over, every night, eventually one day it just... stopped, nothing like that has ever happened sense...
