Dora asked her to repeat it and she said something that was almost identical to what her grandmother, my mother, used to say in a similar situation:

I don’t know what I said; I wasn’t paying attention.

That’s a nice one. I’d love to steal it for a character I’m writing. That’s exactly what she’d say.
