Just a little awkward

At the hairdresser today:

“… they had some great green-coloured drinks,” says the hair dresser-lady

“Yeah, they taste really good,” say I, halfway through a hair cut.

“I didn’t have one though… no good for the bub,”

“Oh, you’re pregnant?”

Temperature of the the room drops many, many degrees.

“Haha,” I try to save with a nervous laugh, “I’m as blind as a bat without my glasses on…”

  1. well, asking someone who’s slightly big if they’re pregnant is also offensive. just can’t win can you?

  2. zhi: lol, it wasn’t a case of not being obvious either >.>

    eugene: haha that’d be the easy way out, but if you’re in a “hair salon” and all the ladies around are chatting, it’s easy to get caught putting your foot in your mouth.
