Reply #8: Actually, he didn't 'correct himself', the questioner corrected him by suggestion.. [View All]

It's like getting someone back on script or something...

It's like when little Billy goes of with Timmy, but told mom he went off with Johnny. Mom hears him talking about it at a later time and questions him because she heard him say "then Timmy and I went down to the creek and did some fishing..."

Mom: "Don't you mean when you and Johnny went to the creek and went fishing"?

Billy: "ummm.. yes mom, that's what I meant, me & Johnny. Thanks for correcting me"...

Does mom ever question whether Billy really went off with Timmy instead of Johnny, or does she just write it off as being that he "mis-spoke"?

Think about it...
