(background noise)
Thank you for shopping at Walmart ma'am, have a pleasant day. Oh, hello madam, welcome to Walmart. Goodbye sir, thank you for shopping at Walmart…
Goooood morning guys and gals, what a wonderful Wednesday morning. This is Steven, and I love you. Today we're gonna talk about…
Olivia: 小光头，我的牛奶呢？
牛奶呀？什么牛奶呀？牛奶？The milk, oh, I'm sorry Olivia, it slipped my mind! Let me…let me…let me do the recording first, then I will go buy the milk for you, OK?
Guys and gals, I meant to buy some milk for Olivia, but it completely slipped my mind. Because…um…well…because I was so excited to talk to you guys, haha, then it slipped my mind, just like that! Man… alright, since I haven't come up with anything to talk about today, let's talk about the expression "it slipped my mind," here we go:
In English, if something slips your mind, that means you forget it. Okay, let's do it one more time:
Okay, so here is another example:
Well, I mean it's pretty normal for a husband to forget about his wife's birthday, isn't it? Actually no, it's not. I always remember. Ahem…ahem…recording. Sometimes we even forget about our parents' birthday or their anniversary.
I'll be honest with you guys, I never want to admit when something slips my mind. It's no fun making a mistake, especially when you forget to do something for someone you love. But it's also important to remember that by admitting something slipped your mind, you are training your brain to have less things slip your mind in the future. I wanted to say something else, but that also slipped my mind.
Well, I have to go back to Walmart again to buy some milk, almost forgot. Hey, you guys want anything? I can buy it for you, just let me know in the comment section below.
