I worked with toddlers and pre schoolers for three years. Sometimes I accidentally slip and tell a friend to say bye to an inanimate object (“say bye bus!”) & occasionally they unthinkingly just do it.
I’m glad there’s a teacher version of “accidentally called teacher ‘mom’”
when I worked at Medieval Times occasionally I would slip in real life and call people “my lord”
One time during family prayer, dad began: “our father who art in heaven, American Airlines, how can I help you?”
One time my dad went to the White Castle drive-thru and the lady (who was supposed to say ‘Welcome to White Castle, what’s your crave?’) asked, “Welcome to White Castle, what’s your problem?”
She apologized profusely while my dad proceeded to lose his shit laughing.
One time my brother answered the phone with the start of our prayer over dinner “Thank You, Lord, for this food”
..thankfully it was just our dad on the other endOne time after a mock trial competition where I’m a lawyer, a waiter asked me if I wanted more bread and I replied “yes your honor”
I have answered my personal phone with “Thank you for calling Wal-Mart, where we help you save money so you can live better, how may I direct your call?” more times than I care to admit.
