Hands in the Air, No hands?

Source

If you know you haven't made a mistake ever since you took in your first breath, can I see your hands in the air?

No hands?

Good.

Well, I can't believe I did what I did but it is what it is.

What do the English people call a situation whereby a person says what he isn't meant to say?

Well, in pidgin English we call it "Jamtalk" or "Misyarn"

You know, that situation where you were told a secret and it mistakenly dropped out of your mouth like a hot yam, you tried picking it up to put it back into your mouth but it was already too late.

So apparently, yesterday I "Misyarned" by mistake. I was invited to an event by a close friend of mine, Ella.

Well, this event is by default not meant to be a big one but I thought that my friend, Ella had invited some close people in her life like her cousins.

So I and her cousin were on the phone talking yesterday.

Cousin: Hey, T. I've missed you. It's been a long time since we saw.

Me: I know right, we really need to catch up on old times. You know what, we would see at Ella's event.

Cousin: What did you say?

Me: erm... never mind.

Cousin: So Ella is hosting such a personal event and she didn't invite me her cousin.

At this point I realized that I have f**ked up.

It was a slip of the tongue but I'm certain that if I had given it a slight thought I wouldn't be in this situation.

Now I'm thinking of how to convince my friend that it was just a misyarn.

Was it my fault? What do you think I can do? I would love to hear your opinion. You can share your experience too.

Thank you for reading💫🤗
