PLEASE forgive me!

I was at IKEA not long ago and I decided to take the elevator up to the showroom. In the elevator with me was a young girl, her grandparents & an IKEA employee. The party of 3 were there for IKEA's fine dining. During our travels, the IKEA employee sparked a conversation with the little girl: (this is the short hand version)

Employee: Hi, How are you?
Girl: Hi, good
Employee: So, you like coming to IKEA?
Girl: Yes, its my favorite place!
Employee: Oh, maybe when you grow up you can work here

Grandma: NO, she is going to college!!!!!

oh SnAP!

This immediately made me think back on when I was in college. My roommate went on a diet. She came back from winter break and was really excited to show me that she was now wearing my same pant size. (oh to be that size now) naturally I congratulated her, right? Oh no, not me, instead, I turned to her and said "See.... I told you I wasn't thin!"
I know! I know! I know!
It still makes me cringe! I didn't mean it the way it came out! and 11 years later, I stiLL remember that awful moment!

I lack the filter, the ability to think before I speak. clearly I am not the MoST intelligent person! you would think I would have learned to take a few extra moments to make sure my words were correct before blurting them out. NOPE. Imagine being in my company after a few too many cocktails. Yikes! And I actually wonder why my only friends are my kids? ? ?

Sooooo.. I would like to take this opportunity to apologize. to anyone and Everyone! if I ever said anything that was insulting. I seriously didn't mean it. Clearly the filter needs some replacing.....and my goal is to accomplish this before I take my grand kids to fill up on Swedish Meatballs!
