Foot-in-Mouth Disease

At times, during a conversation you might have trouble finding the right words or figuring out exactly what you want to say.  Then there are other times where it’s a bit too easy.  You know those times when you watch the words come out of your mouth and wish you could grab them and put them back in?  Instead, you just put your foot in your mouth.  Well, even I suffer from that, and this morning was one of those times.  Because of Julia’s busy schedule with vacation the last few days and a late flight back into town, her hair was a little more disheveled than usual.  So when she came over to my desk this morning and said, “Mike, I need your help!”, naturally the first thing out of my mouth was “I’m sorry Julia,  I don’t work at a hair salon.”

I’m really glad to still be alive this afternoon.

My hair was not disheveled, it’s naturally wavy. I shouldn’t have to straighten it every day!
