Brain Blunder.

I had a bit of a blunder a few weeks ago and am still kicking my own butt. Have you ever said something out loud and that very second, realized it sounded extremely inappropriate? At that point you attempt to explain what you meant; this inevitably only makes things worse. Well the Sweet lady that I made this thoughtless remark while sitting next to is one of those people in my life that has truly earned my respect. She is a true lady and her sheer presence has a way of invoking proper manners and even a slightly improved posture. We went to visit with her tonight for the first time since my brain slip. I felt like a little kid all over again. When the “incident” happened as CC will tell you, this sweet lady simply laughed, in udder shock I am sure. Regardless I have held on to it for a couple of weeks now and worried that it would come up in conversation as a joke. I would have proceeded to crawl under the table the way I started to when it happened. I am once again amazed with her grace and class. Not a word was mentioned about it. She carries herself in just such a way that not only did she not say anything to bring it up but she holds an appropriateness standard for those around her that no one said a word. We had a wonderful visit and everything was the way it always has been. Looking back now I realize the reason it bothered me so much to start with was the very reason that I had no reason to worry that she would bring it back up. I think the bright red color of my face told her I really did not mean the innocent remark the way it sounded.



I would share it however I don’t think I will ever say anything close to it again as long as I live.
