Goofs and mishaps

Have you ever had one of those “insert foot in mouth” moments? I have for the last few days or have been witness to them. My hat goes off to….
The dingbat that hangs out with us -- I’m sure everyone has heard about the Freshman 10 but now it’s been adjusted to the Freshman 20, I guess this day and age Americans seem to be getting larger every year. That’s the set up, now the story – Last weekend I wanted to go out and have a nice dinner, play a few rounds of darts and pool and chill a bit. “Its all good” until you bring along some of the girls and they start off with the fat-chat and what not. Then you have some idiot guy that asks “when’s the baby due?” to one of the girls who isn’t fat, she’s just not stick thin. That’s when all hell broke loose and the girls were all against the guys. – I pity the fool.
To the waiter who needs to keep his yap shut. One of the ladies in my office who isn’t under the age of 30 went out with a few of the girls who are. “Will you be paying for this or your Mom?” Nice move there Sherlock and get a clue, if you don’t know what there status is don’t pretend to know. Sorry for your tip or lack there of, bud.
I made a major mistake today talking to a friend of mine and clearly didn’t think. She was hanging out in the hospital during the same time I was recovering from my dehydration days. Her mom was sick and she spent many nights there with her, which was the last time I saw her since today. She made the comment on how improved I was since our last talk and of course I had to ask her about her mom. She didn’t make it, I wanted the earth to open up and swallow me, of course this was nearly two years ago but I still felt bad bringing back bad memories for her.
We all goof or say things that come out wrong, maybe sound rude to the receiver, a lot of times it’s laid out in text where we don’t hear that sly snicker or the heart felt tones. I’m learning to roll with the punches and watch where I sling my words, “times, they be a hard one!”
