Question Saying the Wrong Word

I'm visiting the doctor in a week or two and wondering if there's a name for what I'm experiencing.

I'll give examples:

My son walks in wearing a dirty shirt. I'll notice his shirt is dirty and say, "Can you please go put on another apple?".

My daughter will ask what's for dinner. I'll be preparing salmon, but I'll say, "I've got tacos in the crockpot".

My kids think this is hilarious and that I'm playing a game, but I'm actually just thinking one thing and saying another. It's very frustrating, actually.

I also have problems thinking of words. Like, I'll say, "Kids, get your shoes on and wait by the..." (trying to think of "door", but it just won't come).

I'm not sure how to describe this to a doctor. I guess the same way that I just described it here?
