One office worker is talking to another and says, "I saw you brought your grandkids to the fair this weekend". Pause. "No", second office worker responds, "I don't have grandkids, I only have two children".
One might consider this an appropriate "oh shit" moment.
The conversation continued awkwardly and drew to a close much slower than the offending party probably would have liked. Today's lesson, when in doubt opt for the comment that makes the other party feel youthful, or at least, doesn't offend.
