this made me laugh (maybe it will for you too)

I had a really funny experience this morning. However, I didn't realize it was funny until about 2 hours later.
 
So, I went to the doctor this morning.  They took me to the scale, as always, and weighed me.  While I was being weighed, the nurse asked me how old I was.  For a moment I couldn't remember, and then a number came into my head and I said it.  I told the nurse I was 28.  I felt 28 and that number just felt right.  And then I didn't think another bit about it until 2 hours later.
 
(2 hours later at work) I was filling out a pilot survey, and got to the part where you check a box if you are in a certain age category.  I looked at the categories, and suddenly realized that I had told the nurse I was 2 years younger than I actually am.  I'm 30.  I obviously haven't accepted it yet.  I can't believe I told the nurse I was 28.  She probably looked at my chart and was confused..."but this woman was 29 the last time she was here--how can she be 28 now?"    She didn't say anything to me though.
 
I almost wanted to call the doc's office and correct my error.  I'm sure they already realized my mistake. 
 
I'm a little embarrassed.  But my co-workers got a big kick out of it when I told them my realization.
