There is no coming back from that one...

I was over at a friends, just drinking a few beers in the garage with the garage door open.

His sister pulls up with her husband and kids.

I hadn't seen them in a few years. So as they got out of the car,I said "Hello, long time no see"..

They said hi and continued toward the front door.

She looked like she was about 5 months pregnant so i said..."Look at you, congratulations!"..

They replied with a "For what" at the same time.

I laughed a little and said.."For the baby in the oven"

They just kept on walking.
I thought to myself -- thats rude.
Soon as they got out of sight -- my buddy says..
"Shes not pregnant" and he laughed..

Doh'🤦

I hopped home immediately to take my foot out of my mouth.

Well you know you're not the only who's been there not that it helps much. I think your duck and hide approach is best for a while.

@Gibbon i dont see any other option. Im glad i didnt tell her she looked 5 months pregnant

@SledgeHammer Some do carry the fat in their belly and it gives that false appearance.

@Gibbon Thats why its so hard for a face to face apology

Gibbon · 70-79, M

@SledgeHammer Yup. There's no approach that isn't down right awkward.

@SledgeHammer I probably put her husband in a horrible situation.... Hes gonna have to come up with something cleaver the next time she asks him...
"Does this dress make my butt look fat"
