So my voice is back, kind of, and it very quickly was put to good use.
So the proper thing to do in this situation is pretend it never happened, right? But I admit my gut reaction is to giggle. Because - life should be about The Giggle Moments. If we don't have The Giggle Moments we go crazy. But I have to remember that what I deem a giggle moment often is offensive to others. So in this moment I kept looking at my notebook and sort of bit my lip, waiting for a cue. But the silence just hung there - and no one was saying a word. And like a little kid in church the silence made me need to giggle even more, to the point where I could feel my face flush. But I tried to blow it off by asking about a seafood option, and when I said the words, "...scampi" it came out more like "...scaaa..aaa...aaaahahahahmpi". And then it was over. I had to set my notebook down and cover my mouth, and then apologize profusely. Fortunately The Clients were into the Giggle Moments like me, and they both busted out the giggles, and we all had a good laugh. The Groom To Be shook his head and said, "Thank God you're a good sport. I was thinking you would never want to work for us. I am so sorry. I am mortified, actually." "Think nothing of it", I said. "We are all human. Things happen." Then The Bride To Be said, "We should warn you we're a loud and gregarious bunch. I can't promise some of my brothers won't have 'accidents' like this at the reception. I am not proud of that fact, not proud of it at all, but they mean well and they like to have a good time. And sometimes lose their - manners. Will you charge us extra for these moments?" "Only if they happen in the kitchen", I replied.

LOL. How you got them? I'd say you were W-A-Y overdue for some fun, laidback, NORMAL people. But, I would recommend you pick up a few cans of "Oust" for this wedding. Posted by: LisaInCT at March 22, 2007 05:52 AM hehehehe... it's great that you were all able to giggle about it. Posted by: barbie2be at March 22, 2007 09:25 AM I love people that are able to laugh at themselves. I am my best source of entertainment. If I could not laugh at myself I would be mortified all the time. I'm glad you finally have some decent, fun people to work with/for. They sound like a fun group. I had a similar situation happen in my office with one of my students. I probably should have reacted with more decorum, but hell, it was funny. If you could die from embarassement I would be dead,,,,,,he did not die. Laughing is good for the heart & soul and you make me laugh alot. Posted by: sue.g at March 22, 2007 09:36 AM You've retold that story so well that I'm sitting at my desk with tears running down my face! Thanks for the morning giggles! Posted by: kevin at March 22, 2007 09:39 AM People and moments like these make up for all the nose pickers, public barfers and children will ill-behaved parents that you have to deal with on a daily basis. PTL and savor them as they are few and far between. Posted by: AuntJone at March 22, 2007 10:25 AM Good you can make light og things like that. No one likes to poot in public at times like those. Posted by: Garrett at March 22, 2007 11:29 AM I too am sitting at my desk, squelching my bursts of laughter. I am the WORST at holding in the giggles and once I get started there's no stopping me! I'm glad the clients were obliging too. You have the best stories!
