This is one of the moments that I am reminded that people are not privy to my thoughts. And that I should learn to put my mind in gear before running my mouth.
So... I was at dinner with my family: Mom, Dad, Thing 1, and Thing 2. I had just started reading Game of Thrones. The table was quiet, which is strange for us. I sat, deep in thought about what had just happened in the story (I give no spoilers). The more I concentrated on the theory that I was forming, the more I felt this uncontrollable need to fill the silence of our dinner table. So I turned to my brother, who was next in line for the book, and said:
"I'm sad to say, I foresee incest in the future."
If I had given some more thought to that statement, I wouldn't have said it. But I did. My dad stopped eating and said, "Excuse me?" which my mother parroted and Thing 2 (the other brother) started laughing.
It's been three weeks and they still haven't let me live it down.
