It was the first thing that crossed my mind

My comment:

It's a random thought (solo por hablar) = "I said the first thing that crossed my mind" - Or, casually (?) "I casually remarked"...

My references:

cross one's mind = to occur to one briefly or suddenly. - cas·u·al
adjective
1.
happening by chance; fortuitous: a casual meeting.
2.
without definite or serious intention; careless or offhand; passing: a casual remark.
