Word tripper

Have you ever tripped up your words while speaking?  Silly question.  Of course you have.  Everyone has.  But maybe I’m the only person who feels just as embarrassed stumbling when I speak as I would walking naked in public.  Weird, huh?  The other day at a McDonald’s drive-thru, I slipped up:

Casher: (after handing me my food) “Thank you, have a nice day!”

Me: “Thanks, you tay!”

You “tay?”  WTF?! I meant to say “you too!” or “okay,” but for some reason I mushed the two together and managed to spit out “you tay.”  I know it’s not that big a deal because I was in my car alone so no one but the cashier heard me.  And it was the lunch rush so she was probably too busy to even notice.  But for some reason I blushed and my eyes got really squinty, something that happens when I get embarrassed.  Still though.  Kinda mortifying.  “You tay.”  Wow.  Way to go me.
