I love this, well, and very humorous. I used to put my foot in my mouth when I was nursing. I admitted patients and said "is this your mother?" meanwhile it was the wife lol.

Comment from Father Flaps
Oops! Did you turn red and hang your head? Some people always lie about their age... like me, for example. I just turned 71 (don't tell anybody, please), but I always tell people I'm 39... a virtual Jack Benny! It's getting harder and harder to get anyone to believe me since my youngest son, Luke, just turned 38 on October 5th. I'd love to be 48 again, as long as I could stay retired and receive government pensions!
How come Chuck wouldn't take a walk along the beach? I love to be near the ocean! I don't understand why... maybe my ancestors were sailors? Maybe your ancestors were mermaids!
Nicely penned!
Hugs,
Kimbob

Chuck claims he "can't walk"--though he walks fine in the course of his normal day. He's got lots of anxiety and phobias--he fears he'll ruin his feet permanently if he walks more than one block.
Comment from Judy Lawless
Oops! I've learned to never ask how old someone is, because you just never know these days, but it was natural for you to assume they'd attended high school TOGETHER if it was specified in the telling, in which case it would have been a compliment. lol

Lol. It seems I?ve heard that story many times over! Glad you were able to refrain from commenting.
Comment from Mary Vigasin
Well, you tried a little too hard to give the guy a compliment and ended up with a foot in your mouth. Very funny. Sometimes you do not want to just stand there and want to jump into the conversation. I bet that cop is looking in the mirror tonight asking do I really look 70?
Regards,
Mary

Comment from Ric Myworld
LMAO! What a way to start my morning. Expecting the expected and it still caused me to chuckle. At Bob Evans having breakfast the other morning. I told an obviously pregnant girl that she was trying to look like me. Then, when she looked at me as I was nuts, I said, "So when your baby due?" She replied, "I'm not pregnant." Have a wonderful rest of your week! And thanks for the smile.

It was very nice of you to make a complimentary comment to the police officer. Unfortunately, it appears that some compliments are confined to the eye of the beholder. NICE IRONY.

Excellent! I love it! how to really embarrass yourself. I imagine this was in fact non-fiction (forgive me if I'm wrong) and you just wished a hole would open up and swallow you.

Comment from BethShelby
I don't really believe you said that. It is possible something like that might have come from my mouth, because my son says I have no filter and say whatever I think, but if I had said it, I'd probably feel like crawling under the sand. You may have thought it. It would be a funny faux pas if someone else said it.
