['I had an interview and I forgot a portion of what I was saying. It was a little awkward.', 'Oh no ! Were you able to come up with something else to say ?', "Yes! I think I recovered okay. I just moved on to my next statement. It's a bummer freezing up though!"]

I was a little uncomfortable in an interview when I forgot what I was trying to say. I had to skip that portion of my statement.
