Everyday English in conversation about memory -3

It slipped my mind.

Erica is planning the menu for the dinner party next week. All of a sudden, she remembers that she has forgotten to invite Linda....

Erica:

I've sent out the invitations for the dinner party.

Manuel:

That's good. Now what should we do?

Erica:

We've got to plan the menu.

Manuel:

Oh, that's right. Do you have anything in mind?

Erica:

I think I'm going to make the chicken salad we had at Pompa last time. Remember I asked the chef for the recipe?

Manuel:

Yeah, but did you forget that Linda doesn't eat chicken?

Erica:

Linda? Oh, my Gosh! I forgot to invite her! She'll be mad at me. It just slipped my mind.

Manuel:

Well, it's not too late yet. I'll make a phone call. Don't worry.

Erica:

Thanks! I think I'm getting old!

Manuel:

Looks like you ARE!
