I've mentioned that I feel socially awkward and sometimes flub up my words. I'm not the only one though, and that makes me feel better... Sort of.
Today I took Maggie and Gwendolyn to Chic-Fil-A for lunch since it was Valentine's Day and... Yes, okay, I was attempting to bribe the kids into acting right when we ran our errands. As the girls and I were sitting in the booth, one of the workers came to check on us. She was soft-spoken and polite but seemed to linger.
"You look just like one of my teachers."
"Oh?" and I nodded my head because I'm never really sure what to say to that kind of comment. "My sister is a teacher."
"Ms. Johnson was my Spanish teacher. You look just like her..."
"No, my sister teaches physical science. I don't think I know Ms. Johnson, but thanks."
"Ah, you just look so much like her. She just had a baby."
...
I don't *think* she was saying I look like I just had a baby. At least not deliberately.
