Incorrect Answers!

Professor: So, what do you think is the complication of thyroglossal cyst?

Me *In Volume 3- audible in a half-a-meter diameter area, basically in a self-mumbling volume* : Kind of Regurgitation of ingested things like um..food and water.

Bench-mate *staring at me for infinity*

Me: You know..you eat stuffs and it slips through that hole and collects in that cyst. After over-filling it regurgigates..Oh yeaaa! Even if it does over-flow, it'll slip baccck towards the oropharynx. *sheepish grin*

Bench-mate *wide eyed* : If you don't know the answer, it's you better don't speak.

Me: I was not sure that's why I was mumbling *you idiot*!

Bench-mate *rolling her eyes*

Me *THE whatever look*

I like expressing what comes to my mind while answering. My brain is in automatic mode of processing the questions to get the answers. It's not a nice habit to say incorrect answers. Mistakes matter. But making mistakes when learning is a natural part. And expressing is a bigger satisfying achievement than sitting quiet with the fear of making mistake.
