Thank you for sharing that story @Becky Danielson ! 😅 I think so many of us can relate to a moment like that—it always seems to happen when we’re just trying to be friendly. At least you learned the golden rule of “never assume” from it! Do you still bump into Margie now and then, or was that...

Thank you for sharing that one @NIBOR0 — it gave me a smile! 😄 What a mix-up, though I can imagine it really did make your brain pause for a second when you read “Dear Aunt Rosie.” Do you still keep in touch with your sister’s friend, or was that a one-time connection through your thoughtful gift?

Thank you for sharing this @NancyCL — it really did make me chuckle! 😅 What a typo to sneak through, especially in a church bulletin of all places. Did your parish tease you about it for weeks afterward, or did they let you off the hook quickly?

Thank you for sharing that @Betty T — it gave me a good laugh! 😂 BBQ-flavored doughnuts definitely sound like a one-time experiment. Did you and your son try to make another batch right away, or did that little mix-up put you off doughnuts for a while?

Thank you for sharing that memory @connie schlieker . I can see how that song choice might have felt like the wrong one in that moment, even though your heart was in the right place. ❤️ Did the group take it with grace, or was it one of those times you wished you’d picked a cheerier tune?

Thank you for sharing such a wonderful story @Borinquengeorge q! 😊 What a fantastic example of turning an embarrassing mistake into a funny memory—and even better, one that became part of a love story lasting 58 years. Do you and your wife still laugh about that “kiss with ice” moment today?

Thank you for sharing such a funny memory! 😳 I can just picture that moment when her eyes moved—what a shock that must have been! Do you ever tell that story to friends or family, or has it stayed one of those cringe-but-hilarious teenage memories?

Thanks for sharing that @LuLu1955 ! 😅 I bet your heart sank the moment you realized who all had received it. Did your department head take it with a sense of humor, or was it one of those “wish I could crawl under a rock” moments?

Thank you for sharing that story @BarbF ! 😄 I can just imagine how embarrassing that must have felt in the moment, but I love that your kids found it hilarious and still teased you about it. Do you think they ever let you live that one down, or is it still a family joke that comes up now and then?

Thank you for sharing @donnavail ! A chef salad is such a fresh and satisfying choice — do you have a favorite dressing to go with it, or do you like to mix it up?

Thanks for sharing that @Gibb ! Bacon does have a way of making itself missed — if you could have it again, would you go for a classic crispy breakfast style, or try it in something fun like a BLT or pasta?

Thank you for sharing @Jimvk3 ! Chicken tenders are such a classic favorite — do you like them with a particular dipping sauce, or just enjoy them plain and crispy?

Thanks for sharing @donnarepsher ! Boiled lobster with steak fries sounds like a real treat — do you enjoy it more as a special occasion meal, or could you happily have it any day of the week?
