About a month or so ago, I had a call at a place where one of the girls who works there is a friend of mine and my wife's. Had not seen her in a while and I noticed that she looked like she was getting a bit of a stomach on her. The thought that she was with child entered my mind. Common sense told me to keep my mouth shut, which I did. Last week I saw her again and when she said something about feeling a little sick that morning I almost ask. Seconds later she made mention that she was not having a baby. Glad I kept my mouth shut.
Just last week I was at a customers office. She is one of those people that you can't look at and tell her age. Just not sure. I had assumed she was close to me, give or take 5 years. At one point an older man stepped in to ask her something. After he left, she told me it was her father. What popped into my head was "I would not have guessed he was old enough to be your father". What I said was nothing.
Last Friday I was at a location talking about the old HP lj4+ I had just picked up. I commented That it would probably remain on my table until some old retired Sargent Major comes in looking for one like he used to have. As it would turn out, the other guy in the room was an old retired Sargent Major. How old? We have the same birthday, this Saturday. He is a year younger than me.
Today was one of our new salespersons birthday. We celebrate birthdays at work. I had assumed she was older than me, when I saw the sticker on her shirt showing that she was 1 year younger than myself, I was glad I have learned to keep my thoughts to myself in my older years.
