…while speaking:
- For an approximate minute and a half during a meeting, I couldn’t pronounce ‘loose’. I kept saying it ‘lieu-se’ as in ‘in lieu of’. When I concentrated for a moment, I finally managed it. Hurrah!

Mum thinks this is a disease. But she’s not a hypochondriac.

- I didn’t understand why they were laughing when I was talking about the ‘ear piss’ I used while driving so that I could keep both hands on the wheel as I spoke into my mobile. There’s nothing funny about safety.

And as an aside, a little note to all who use “I think not” while speaking / writing as a sentence unto itself. Just shut up, already. Thanks, you’re awesome!

…while miming:
- Attempting to explain that my colleague was busy at her desk ‘thinking’, I chose to make swirls by my temple (denoting ‘crazy’) instead of tapping my temple (denoting ‘thinking’).
