The garrowing naze

I’m at Brilliance Audio again, recording and had two funny slips of tongue that I thought I’d share. When reading aloud, you have to scan ahead a little to see where the sentence was going in order to know how to inflect it and what word to say next. Sometimes, my brain will grab a word from the next line and move it up.

For instance, today the like was “a member of a lofty family,” but I said, “a family of a lofty member.”

Ahem

The other one was a Spoonerism that I committed not once, but twice, “his naze garrowed.”
