Dinah...
First, that is awesome, I love it! I'm so proud of you for just saying what you were thinking... and calling him on it. I'm trying to get better at that- and humor never hurts- but it's hard, humor or not.
As for the slip, I'm not sure, I'm not usually very good at figuring that stuff out. But something did pop into my head. Could be totally off-base. But, if it were ME.... obviously an important distinction, because you aren't me.... Anyway, if it were me I'd think the "me" part could mean that there was some part of me that wasn't "paying attention or connecting. Probably that I was intellectualizing, not paying attention to my feelings- which means people on the receiving end don't engage to the same extent.
As my T would say... feedback (which I wasn't there so it's not really feedback, more speculation) is just feedback. If it fits, great- if it doesn't- throw it away. Only you know.
I do want to hear what you think it means... if anything.
