I'm glad you pulled off to the side of the road!

No, seriously - I love when this happens to me. A question out of nowhere. It's like someone opened up a window into their mind mid-stream-of-consciousness. Let's play a game of "Guess what I'm talking about!"

It's nice to hear others have these conversational quirks.
