I try - I really do.
But it’s almost impossible sometimes.
I go “Uh huh. Ohh! Umm. How about that? Ahhh...”
The War Dept. caught on to me years ago.
Now she stops in the middle of a sentence and says:
“WHAT DID I JUST SAY?”
Sometimes I can actually pull a word or two out of my subconcious.
We used to joke about me being
“on automatic unhunh mode.”
Particularly when exhausted/sleepy.
