This reminds me of an argument I had with my wife the basis of which is that she ascribed something I did to the way she thought I was feeling. I accused her of not being able to read my mind. I asked her “What am I thinking now?” Whereupon, she flipped me the bird.
I responded with “OH MY GOD! You can read my mind!” We both broke up laughing and the argument was ended. Now it has become a catch phrase, “What am I thinking now?” and it does defuse a lot of arguments: we don’t take it for granted that we know the motivation for what the other says or does.

To be on the safe side, I’ll be on my way now.

I don’t know what I’m thinking either, up at this ungodly hour of the morning.

As they say in the military: SNAFU.
