If only I took my own advice... Several years ago I made a friend cry at her own birthday party and just the other day, at a checkout lane at Target (discount chain store), I unwittingly and unintentionally insinuated to the woman in front of me that she looked very pregnant with twins. I probably shouldn’t go into details, but suffice it to say that I didn’t think before I spoke and for that I am deeply regretful and probably nearly socially incompetent. Ugh. At least I realized my mistake quickly this time and got out of there before any tears where shed or any swinging started, but the damage was done and there was absolutely nothing I could say to take it back. She was pregnant with twins…yes…but that ended months ago. Her boys are now five months old. Palm on face.
