speaking and not thinking of what you gonna say and completely forget that you stutter. yesterday i was sitting in a cafe shop with two of my friends , there was a football match playing on TV , a man sitting next to us asked who was playing , i replied instantly and without thinking about the words i'am going to say and forgetting that i ever stuttered in my life : Oh it's barcelona vs inter milan in the last group stage match in champions league. i said that flawlessly , my two friends who know me from childhood and know that i stutter ever since , looked at each other confused , i thought that i said something wrong so i asked them if i was right and they said yes you are , then i looked at them with the same look they gave to each other and then i realized what i just did !! they both know that i stutter severely , and being best friends from childhood i don't worry about my stutter when i'm with them , i even tell them to order for me every time we go out somewhere xD i can't forget this moment and i kept thinking about it all day , it felt so good !!! i was wondering how could one remember to forget something ? :D
