Husband M and I were in our local McDonald's restaurant for coffee when M noticed our former neigbour sitting at a table. I went over to say hello. In the course of our conversation I noticed his female companion. He had not introduced me, so being a curious (sometimes friendly) sort, I said 'Is this your daughter?'. He said 'No, it's a friend'. After I walked away M said to me 'I knew that wasn't his daughter' and I hadn't known his daughter well enough to recognize her. Then it occurred to me that it might be a date, as the man had been widowed since January this year. Then I realized I may have put my foot in my mouth to have assumed it was his daughter, which implied he was with a much younger woman! Oops oops and oops, it's not the first time I have been guilty of embarrassing blunders, how about you?

To be honest, men really don't need to date women young enough to be their daughters. One of the reasons why I've always distrusted Trump way before he was in politics. When he married his current wife, he was about twice her age. What do they honestly bond over?
Love the leaf art!
This made me chuckle, not your fault if he's dating someone young enough to be his daughter! Hugs, Valerie
Love the first photo =) Congrats ;)
You make a good point Adam!
We all sometimes wish that we could take back words that we uttered to quickly...it's called being human.
You were just being friendly, Christine. If he wishes to date someone young enough to be his daughter...then he should expect this to happen again.
I love these two photos together...they compliment one another~
Sometimes, it's best not to ask such questions. Wow, that was a huge blunder in my opinion.
The leaf photographs are lovely! I often blunder in conversations... You're sweet and friendly, sometimes we accidentally say things we regret, but I'm impressed with how often you make someone's day brighter by conversing and being you...
An easy mistake to make, Christine!
Frankly, he was probably tickled that you thought she was that young, thereby reinforcing his male pride that he could snag a much younger woman. ;)
You were just being friendly ...
I do like the leaves, especially the colour of the first one.
All the best Jan
You just call 'em as you see 'em.
I agree with Miss Martha. Easy mistake to make.
