I went grocery shopping with my two youngest sons. They were mostly well behaved, but I did need
to keep them focused and moving. They were oblivious to the fact they were
blocking an entire aisle, so I sternly said, “Single file please, heads up,
there are people trying to get through.”
Ahead of us a mom and her teenage daughter quickly complied, nervously
jumping into single file formation. I
was so preoccupied with my kids that I walked three of four paces past them before
I realized they thought I was lecturing them.
I was incredibly embarrassed and apologized profusely to the woman and
her daughter. As we walked away my
middle son accused me of ‘liking’ the lady who thought I was yelling at her and
he also told me “Mom will be mad at you.”
That’s a whole lot o’ miscues and misperception crammed into about 30
seconds.
