1. This morning, while walking to the office, I saw a small form behind me about to pass me. In my head, I thought it was a little kid running fast to school. But as she passed, it was an elderly lady who came up to my waist only! I accidentally loudly exclaimed, "Wow!"
2. Yesterday at the Thai graduation ceremony of my Thai roommie and co-worker, a Thai professor was speaking. In the middle of a long run of Thai words, he said "burn-out" in English! We call it Tenglish when they don't have an equal Thai word so they use English. It always makes me laugh. It let out a small hiccup of a laugh before throwing my hand over my mouth.
3. The other day, while watching a movie at the theater, I forgot where I was. This gross part came on the scream involving throw-up, and I screamed "Disgusting!" Then, I remembered I was in a movie theater! In Thailand, where everyone is quiet! Aaah!
I will continue trying to think before speaking, but I just can't help it sometimes!
