. . . . been in a situation where something you said didn't come out quite right? You didn't mean it the way it sounded, and more than likely it was just a minor slip-up. Well, unfortunately it can be easy to do, and we all know what a sinking feeling that is! It can send us in to a deep hole of embarrassment. Who was it that once said...I may have small feet, but they fit perfectly in my mouth! When you realize you've said something wrong, stop immediately, even if you're mid-sentence, and apologize. Don't make excuses. Own up to what happened and move on. The last thing you want is the feeling of having to avoid the other person the next time you see them at the other end of the grocery aisle. Saying you're sorry immediately will go a long way towards making a bad situation, better.
"The difference between the right word and the almost right word is the difference between lightning and the lightning bug."
