Let’s make another list. Before we did the things that you hated to hear other people say because they were so superficial.  
Here just say one thing you wish you had said today but didn’t couldn’t for whatever reason. Pick the first thing that comes to mind. List them here; funny serious outrageous unimportant…

Again, please copy the list.
