Have you ever gotten everyone's attention - then go to speak and forgot what you were going to say?
Like in a classroom situation - have you ever raised your hand, waved it around - acted like you had to go pee pee bouncing all over your seat to get the instructors attention and then when he/she called on you you had forgotten what you were going to say.... because you spent so much time thinking *pick me pick me*

Oh my word YES I do it all the time!! Just last night I went to say something to my husband opened my mouth and then it went blank, he looked at me a bit strange (he does that a lot, lol) and then I just said I've forgotton what I was gona say! Or the other thing I do is get halfway through then something happens and I forget what i was saying!! I'm so glad its not just me ha ha! Take care

oh I will do this, and it bugs me to know end.... the word is right there but you can not produce it!
but my husband, oh my! the poor fellow.... he will be talking to me and then just stop mid sentence and go about doing something else - or he will be waiting for my reply - and at the same time I am waiting for him to finish his thought.
it is very creepy.

not really me but my daughter,,she had told me that her teacher had called her to answer some questions and when she stands up she experienced mental block..and cant say a word
although she knows the answer but she feels its in the tip of her tonque.that happened when she was still in grade school..

I don't think I have ever been in that situation but I am constantly going blank and forgetting what I wanted to do or say! xxx
