Put My Foot In it

 

Ever had an experience where you wanted to either run or cover your face in embarrassment? It happened to me today. I really put my foot in it.

I ran in to someone I haven’t seen in ages…. when she lightly touched me on the shoulder from behind, came to face me and said “hello” the first thing I did, after greeting her with “hello” was exclaim with elation “oh you are pregnant!” My eyes diverted straight to her tummy.

She replied casually, “I was thinking that I should lose some weight” Imagine my chagrin!!!

Of course I apologised profusely and repeatedly throughout our chat and though she kept saying “don’t worry about it” it doesn’t take away the fact I broke the golden rule. You don’t ask a woman that question however fat and protruding she may be if she doesn’t mention it.

What was I thinking?

I need to zip it.
