Poor Abby
Have you ever had an experience where you've said something that came out completely different than you intended? It makes for awkward conversations. Abby has recently had a couple of experiences where people have said things to her that just make us think.
Example One
Home Teacher: Abby, you gave a great talk on Sunday! We were all really surprised.
[Looks of shock are displayed on the faces of my family. Did he really just say that?! we all thought]
Home Teacher [seeing our looks of shock]: Um, we were really surprised to hear that you had recently had surgery! I don't think any one knew! Uh, yeah, surgery...
Example Two
Abby [while watching an old home video of herself]: That was back when I looked like a badger.
Nathan: Oh, you haven't really changed at all. You still look the same.
Abby: What?
Nathan: No! I mean, you never looked like a badger! You have always looked normal!

Example 3--We were talking about how Abby had about every color of hair as a baby, including being a red head and she said, "Yeah, I could have been a blackhead." Ouch!! We're glad she's actually just a brown head.
Example 4- Abby: "I look like a garbage bag." Natalie: "No, you look like ET." Abby: "Well, that makes me feel a lot better..."
