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?
