Physiologically that's actually pretty interesting. The running around the house sends more oxygen to your limbs, and less to your brain. Therefore, you can't think as clearly.

(one of my friends proves a point in paramedic classes by having folks run the stairs near the classroom and then come back in and try to do some basic dosage calculations that she knows they wouldn't otherwise have a problem figuring out. It's to show that you really DO function differently under stress. Takes the wind out of the sails of some of the hotshots too.)
