We all have our moments where the brain short circuits and something comes out your mouth that makes you question your reality. A simple moment where you misspeak or get phrases mixed up isn’t a big deal right? Well if it happens on Smile Breakfast then the childish side of the team comes out.

Some of us call these moments “brain farts” and science has actually done quite a bit of research into the matter. According to Psychology Today those moments when you misspeak or make a silly mistake might come about because your brain is trying to save energy.
