"A Freudian slip, or parapraxis, is an error in speech, memory, or physical action that is believed to be caused by the unconscious mind. Some errors, such as a man accidentally calling his wife by the name of another woman, seem to represent relatively clear cases of Freudian slips. In other cases, the error might appear to be trivial or bizarre, but may show some deeper meaning on analysis".

The other day David and I were in the elevator heading out our separate ways into the great big world. As we were making our descent into the lower belly of the garage, we briefly exchanged our schedules and some comments/notes/reminders.
Ding.
We had made the final descent and the door to the elevator opened to release us into the wild. We quickly met lips to say our parting goodbyes and what do you know?!
ZAP!
David and I quickly looked at each other and simultaneously declared:
2 very different things.
She said: 'Electricity'
He said: 'Friction'
How he sweet talked his way out of that one requires a separate post.
And that, Dear Reader, is a Freudian Slip.
