Open mouth insert foot...



Ever say something to someone, innocently let me add, that you regret? The other day I asked a woman (an acquaintance) if she was pregnant. Now let me say, she has all the tell-tale signs, some weight right in the abdomen, a bit puffy in the face. Seriously she was wearing a sweater with horizontal stripes and I'm telling you, she looked pregnant. Well, I made quite the mistake and opened my big mouth and stuck my foot right on in it! As I asked her, she said she was not pregnant, but then asked me "so are you saying I look fat?" Seriously, what does one do at that point? I tried to gracefully get out of it, but it was already done, nothing I could do to gracefully get out of that one. Am I sorry? Absolutely, without doubt. Rumor has it, she's mad at me. I've apologized twice, don't really think there's much more I can really do, the words came out, can't put them back in now can I? I'll sure tell you, I'll never, ever ask another dumb question like that again! If anyone asks me my opinion about someone being pregnant, I'm zipping my mouth! Nothing coming from me!
Have we not all done something we regret? We are only human after all. (I should have used this picture as a sign...don't ask!)

Have a good week everyone!
