Clearly tickled by the response to the moment, Garner herself got in on the action providing her own interpretation of what was going through her head. We gotta say, it was pretty hilarious.

While the actress’s response was funny, we do have a serious question: Will we ever learn the truth about what Garner was thinking? Probably not. Still, the internet just loved that she poked fun at herself.
You’re so fantastic Jen we love you and can’t wait until your new show!!
