"What I would say to you..." "What I MEANT to say to you..." "When I misspoke..."

"I meant to say when I was down on the tiles with all your microphones in front of me 'thousands'. The figure that we always had in mind was around about in the low teens.

I am envisioning a heroine that sends her congratulations as she takes down the bad guys. #bookstodons #misspoke #IAlwaysSayTheWrongThing
