Me - Who am I? 
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve said something to someone only to be told, “You already told me that.” Sometimes my brain can’t remember if I was only just thinking something or if I actually said it aloud.

Same here. My husband can repeat almost every story I tell, just by hearing the first word. I think he knows my stories even better than I do. Ha!

Oh yes, the talk around the ‘water cooler’ can be repeated over and over again. Hopefully you tell your husband those things more often than not, and on time. 🙂 But, keeping them on their toes can be fun too.
