Sometimes comments come across as rude when they weren't meant that way. Not in this case but I was going into Petsmart one day and this young couple was carrying in the tiniest little dog. Without thinking I said "OK, what is it?" They looked at me like they wanted to strangle me and the woman said it was a chi (never could spell that one out). They were gone before I had a chance to correct my offense. My next words were going to be that it was adorable. They will never know and probably classified me as one of those people who called their little darling a rat. To this day I feel bad about it. Maybe it would be best to give people a polite answer and them hammer them if the go on being an a$$. |
