I was out this evening with some friends of mine. I told their six-year-old about an awkward situation in which I found myself one evening. It was several years ago, but I thought it would be a good story to tell. This is what I told him:
“My wife and I went to a Wal-Mart and I decided that I just wanted to sit on the bench next to the front door and watch people as they came in and out of the store. After I sat down, there was a lady who asked if she could sit next to me and I obliged. When I turned to look at her, I came to realize that she had a better goatee than I.”
Now that’s an awkward situation.
