Me: Laughing out loud at my own thoughts

My mom, furious: Can you please show some respect and decorum at your grandfather's funeral?

Or the text I'm reading 😅

I have this trick in meetings when they suddenly go: AddLemmus, what are your thoughts on that?

I just revert my last mental steps before they jumped the shark, and say: "Actually, I was still thinking about [topic 10 minutes ago], which requires more attention. Especially ..."

And it works! They think I'm thorough and thoughtful, the one who catches the important details that would have been overlooked otherwise.
