That's completely the sort of thing I do as well. I have two small boys, and (as I'm sure every parent does) I point things out to them when travelling.
So it was 7:20 on the packed Sheffield train to London, and I was absent-mindedly looking out the window. We passed a field of cows.
"Oooh look," I said out loud, completely forgetting where I was and who I was sitting at a table with, "Moo cows"
To a table of besuited, and bemused businessmen.
