One of the worst mistakes you can ever make is using the wrong word , when describing a baby picture to a proud parent. Many years ago, early in our marriage, we lived in a trailer park. (real nice one) I was strolling down the street with 2 of my little ones, and a neighbor came out with her little one to walk with me. She had recently had some photos taken of her 2 little girls to send to her hubby who was out to sea at the time. She was all excited , and couldn't wait to show me the photos. Well leave it to me. I took one look at the photo of her youngest, who had mischief written all over her face, and blurted out,"ohhhh she look's like a little monkey". I was horrified as she was at what I had just said. I tried to explain that wasn't what I meant, and needless to say the more I tried to explain, the deeper in I got. She grabbed the photos and stormed off. She never spoke to me again. To this day, I can't believe I said that. From that point on I was more careful with my choice of words when looking at some one else's baby's photos. |
