Oops. THAT was awkward....

We don't do pedigrees anymore in biology cause a girl had brown eyes when both her "parents" had blue. All her life she thought her dad was her real father till freshman year.

I have two brown eye boys, my eyes are green and their dads blue. I have taken a lot of flack from their doctors about that.

But if you met my xMIL you would see where it comes from. Her eyes are black they are so dark. She had two blue eye kids and one brown and is the only brown eye sibling in her family as well.

It's not you, they've isolated 3 sets of genes that make eyecolors. so it's far more complicated than blue, brown green etc.

So one day while at the grocery store, I ran across an ex co-worker, hadn't seen him in a while and had small talk about work and what he was doing, and stuff. after the small talk I said "so is this your mom with you?" hoping she'd hear me so he'd introduce us... he goes on to say "that's my girlfriiend" oops I said I'll talk to you later and ran off so fast!!!! man I felt so embarrassed!! wonder how they felt?

I'm small, only 5 ft tall, and look young. Mr saddi is 5 years older and has the most amazingly silver hair. Few years ago we went for coffee, and the girl making them said "how nice, you're buying your dad coffee!" So i plopped down on his lap, kissed him like I meant it, and purred "hell~o daddy". She was shocked and he felt better.

Ok, I guess I can put in a few of my

Moments....



While running the fish store one day a blind man came in...he had the cane...he very politely said hello and I said "Hi there! Just look around and let me know if you see anything you like!"

Also had a regular customer who was a midget. She came in one day and didn't have enough money when she got to the register...What did I say? "Oh it looks like you came up a little short there."

Last month I dropped a cast iron pan and broke a foot bone... in the urgent care the doc said "it'll be ok, just stay off it a few days..."

I use a wheelchair, I was sitting IN said chair.

I'm a twin and people would always ask me "What's it like to be a twin?" I don't know, what's it like to not be a twin???

I was student teaching in a kindergarten when a mom pulled the teacher aside and said don't let my daughter play with this little boy, they have the same father but she doesn't know (the little girl thought her dad was away "traveling"). I'm thinking - both children go to the same school, end up in the same classroom (there were 6 kindergarten classrooms) and you want to keep them apart now???

I love the "so, are they alike or different" question. Seriously? Just because the kids hung out in the womb together squashed for 8 mos doesn't make them clones!! For crying out loud, I'm not even sure one of them is mine and I gave birth to him. Aliens are putting things in the drinking water...

Oh goodness I had so many moments like that at McDonalds. I seem to always always slip up in a job interview. It doesnt matter, I just always say something weird! Put the pressure on and I offend people

LOL!!

Thought of another one:

I was working in Fayetteville...it's ALOT more liberal than my neck of the woods in OK. Anyway, so we have to sell the alcohol for the underage cashiers. I went up to the woman and asked to see her ID. I then notice a young man, around my age or younger behind her and say after conferring with the cashier, "I'm sorry, I need to see your son's ID as he did touch the alcohol to put it on the register."

She replied "That's not my son! That's my husband!"

I kid you not. The woman HAD to be 65+. The "husband" was 22 at MOST.

I didn't feel so bad then.


Another one was me getting confused on how to um, genderize a transgendered person. I finally went with the gender she was trying to be. WRONG. Listen, if you wear a Cher wig, I'm going to assume... I felt awful and the people behind her in line were laughing so hard at my blunder they were crying.


I do these things so others won't have to!
