My second wife...

[csberry]

Called up the boss a little while ago for our morning check-up (she tends to work in her home office 95% of the time). We're wrapping things up on the phone...

K: I'll call you later if I hear anything.
Cory: Okay, later.
K: (quickly and all run together) Talk to you later, love you.
Cory: Uh.
K: *giggling*
Cory: I love you, too, Kathryn.
K: Oh, leave me alone! *giggling and hangs up*

I've unconsciously switched the names of my wife and bosses before (yep, I called her "Darrell" a few times through the years) but I've never accidentally told my boss or coworkers that I loved them.

The "love you" rolled right off her tongue. There is no doubt in my mind that it was a complete brainfart of her momentarily confusing me with her husband...to whom she had just said goodbye before the end of our conversation. K can be very scatter-brained at times.
