When I was planning our wedding I took my niece (she was 17, I was 23) shopping for a dress to wear in the wedding.
I wanted her to wear something black and white (she was going to stand on Allen's side). Anyhoo she found this
dress, BUT it was a DARK burgundy. I told her it was pretty BUT not black. She continued to insist is WAS black because she wanted the dress. Her and I jokingly argued over the color of the dress.So ME being ME....I say "okay I am gonna settle this right now". I walk over to this man, he is sitting in a chair waiting for his wife that is trying on clothes. I thrust the dress in front of him and say "hello sir, can you PLEASE settle this for us...is the dress burgandy or black?"
HIS ANSWER?
"I am sorry ma'am, I don't know, I am blind"
I was so mortified I wanted to lay down and die right there! My neice IMMEDIATELY ran away and I said "I am sorry sir, have a nice night" and walked away with my head hung in shame.
open mouth.....insert foot.

I totally feel ya! I couldn't help but laugh. Although I'm sure at the time it wasn't funny at all! One time,I was about 14 years old, (you know, just old enough that the simplest things mortify you) I was at a friend's house and I went to use the bathroom. The lights were off and so I figured nobody was in there. I kept hearing, "Hey, someone's in here," but it just didn't click that the someone was in the bathroom. It FINALLY clicked when I turned the light on only to see a naked blind man in my friend's bathtub! Her uncle was visiting from out of town. What are the chances???
By the way... did you get my AOL message regarding your response to my blog and if so, did I offend you, b/c I haven't heard from you in a while. That was NOT my goal! Love you!
