What's One of The Dumbest Things YOU Have Said?

Tweet

Okay here is another dumb things discussion..this time I like to hear something dumb you may have said... Here's mine. I related this story elsewhere but want to go into more detail. Years and years ago, there was this woman, Olga who took care of the library garden that is near me. Next to the Botanical Gardens I swear this had to be one of the most beautiful gardens around. Olga took care of that garden with a lot of love and you could tell by how beautiful it was. She wasn't by any means a youngster but in her seventies, but looked so much younger. Anyway, I used to love taking my camera with me and photographing the flowers and one day she saw me, and asked if I was interested in actually coming inside the garden as it was all fenced so no one could come in and ruin the garden...I said sure, as I was just dying to take up some really good close up shots. She said she would pay me for my trouble, but she wanted copies of some of the photos. So I went into the garden and clicked away. Once I got the slides back (this is way before the digital age of photography)--I bumped into her in the garden and she decided to take a break and invited me to come up to her apartment which was right next to the library. So now we're in her apartment, and she's looking at the photos, and we're chit chatting..Then I spy a copy of the inspirational magazine, Daily Word, but it was the spanish edition, named Palabra Diaria. Her roomie was spanish speaking and loved the magazine...So I'm kind of showing off with my memory of my high school Spanish, and say, "Oh I see your roomie reads Palabra Diaria". I wondered why she was looking at me oddly, and she didn't say anything to me, but just nodded her head yes. It wasn't until I was leaving and in the elevator that I laughed out loud big time and I caught my mistake. Now Diaria, is pronounced Dee - ar - ree- ah, but that isn't exactly how I said it...I had pronounced it like diarrhea!! No wonder she gave me a weird look! Okay fess up time..have you said something stupid, dumb, twisted words, or whatever??
