We have fiestaware with plates in different colors.
My daughter just handed me an orange plate with a black bowl.
My mind thinks, "Looks like Halloween," but my mouth says, "Looks like Easter." My ears hear what my mouth says and then my mind thinks, That's not what I told you to say!"

Nope, never happens. I don't have Fiestaware.... Ha! Truthfully, that happens to me far more than I care to admit. I've certainly wondered how such a disconnect can occur

That happens to me, every time, I try to say "orange" - it comes out "green." And vice versa. It has been that way my whole life. I have no idea why.

Every time I try to say Walmart I say McDonald's and I don't know why. Drives me insane since I don't like either place!

Yes! This has started to happen. My sister is 11 years older than me, and I used to make fun of her mercilessly whenever she would say something dopey, like "Jennifer Anderson" when she meant "Jennifer Anniston" or something like that. Now that my own brain is turning to mush, I don't find it so hilarious anymore.

ALL THE TIME!
Especially when I'm pre-occupied/busy with something and I'm trying to instruct my kids on where to put something, find something or do something! LOL

So funny!!
It happened to me last night. DD and I were cooking and I told her that we didn't have enough chillis. Except I said pumpkin instead of chilli.

Tonight at dinner, ds said someone was dumber than dirt. At the same time, I said something to my mom about the bleu cheese deviled eggs. Dh responded to ds that he could totally believe that the person he was talking about was as dumb as bleu cheese. I see a new family phrase in our future!

I frequently mix up my kids' names. They're 9 years apart so I always know which one I'm trying to yell at, but it doesn't always come out right. Makes ODS (13) so mad I've called the dog YDS' name once or twice, she's kind enough not to complain outloud

It reminds me of a scene in The Breakfast Club: The weird girl (Ally Sheedy) is telling them how she has sex with her psychiatrist. And then she asks Claire (Molly Ringwald) if she's ever "done it." And Claire tosses her red hair and says, "I don't even HAVE a psychiatrist." I just saw it the other day for the first time in years, that's why it is so fresh in my mind! (Note that it's very possible I got one or both of the actresses names wrong.)

Follows it up with "the one with Boobs" or "the one without boobs". We are a pretty inappropriate family. Lol

I do it frequently but know it is wrong before it comes out of my mouth. Sometimes I need audience participation to help me find the right word. As a teacher, it has led to some interesting conversations.

After years and years of living with DH and our sons, I seem to be incapable of calling my brother by his name anymore. Over and over again I will sit there and go through a whole list of names trying desperately to just say his name. It's frustration meets hilarity because everyone gets such a laugh out of it. And it's not like he has some tricky name. I'm sitting there working my a$$ off for a completely easy name. So I'm sitting there looking right at him saying "Hey, Ben! Scott! Josh! Oh my freaking Heck!!! JIM!"

Haha, that reminds me of my nanna. My mum is Lorraine and my aunty is Robyn. My nanna *always* called one or the other "Lorr-Robyn" !!
Sometimes when I am talking to someone about my DD I call her by my sister's name (my sister died nearly 30 years ago), or if I am talking about my sister I use DD's name. Weird.

Yes! I had great confusion once between the words "person" and "mailbox" which has lead to nearly two decades of family teasing.

I use to babysit for this family and for reasons unknown, I often accidentally called the dog by the son's name. The son was a daredevil and I spent a lot of time urging him to be careful and calling him away from bad ideas, so I think I was just in the habit of always calling that name, and it just came out when I wanted to call the dog as well.

Just this weekend I called DS #1 a combo name, which I used to do all of the time when DS #2 was first born. The name hadn't even fully left my mouth and DS #1 sighed and said "You're not going to start that again, are you??".

Her mother would call each girl Kalauren, a combo of all three names! That was SO my mother. There were three of us girls and it usually came out "Kurathy". More and more frequently I will be trying to carry on a conversation with someone, while at the same time, my mind wanders on to a task I need to do. For example, this morning my DH and I were discussing a TV show I had watched yesterday about the battle of Kadesh between the Hittites and the Egyptians led by Ramses II. I was in the kitchen, thinking "I need to unload the dishwasher". As we were talking I told my DH I just could not remember the name of the DISHWASHER that led the Hettites into battle. I knew the minute it came out of my mouth it was wrong, but I just.could.not.stop if from coming out! DH just stood there and said "uh? What ARE you talking about?" LOL He was more confused than I was. HA

Yup, I've got two sons and a husband. I'm always mixing them up.
Apparently that's too many manly names for my feeble mind to remember.
I now point and say, "You! Yes. You"!

Dh and I are so awful with mixing up the kids' names. We get it wrong 83% of the time. Even when my oldest was born we called her the dog's name.

My favorite happened several years ago when I was in pharmacy school. After a particularly bad and tiring day, I was trying to get some sympathy from a friend. She is one of those people who will get bored with what you are saying and just start telling her own story. So, in an attempt to hurry up and tell her about my "sucky" day, I invented the phrase: IT HAS BEEN ON SUCK ALL DAY LONG!
