Do you ever say anything you just can't take back?  And trying to fix it only digs the hole deeper?  I do this daily, if not multiple times per day.  It's part of my charm, I think.   

For example, yesterday, I asked a kid if his jacket was a Transformers jacket.  He said, "Yeah.  Pretty rad, huh?"  So instead of saying "yes," I said, "Yeah... rad.  My boyfriend would love it.  He's a HUGE nerd... not that you are... it just that... well...um... he's nearly 40!  He shouldn't like your jacket! Transformers are toys!  Not that you're a kid!"  ...shoot me now!

And SOMETIMES you say something and the person responds with something so quick-witted and hilarious that you wish you were that brilliant... except it's NOT made up... NOR funny?  For example, this morning as I was running around trying to make copies before the bell a student approached.  Not just any student, mind you.  But a teeny, tiny little eighth grade darling who always wears a little pony tail with a bow.  I could feel my internal "excuse alarm" going off, so I said, "Walk with me.  I've got to run down the hall" knowing full well she was about to tell me why she didn't have her project.  Well, the legs on her little 4'10" body couldn't keep up with my 5'8" in-a-hurry stride, and I noticed she was limping.  So I said, "Hey-- you OK?!?  You're limping pretty badly!  What happened???"  And she said...

..."Oh... well, one of my legs is longer than the other..."

Internal monologue: I just called out a crippled child in a crowded high school hallway, didn't I? 

"Really?  I didn't know that about you.  I learned something new.  Now why don't you have your project???"

Internal monologue: I hope she falls for the ol' change the subject bit...

Yikes.
