oh ladies, you have had tears rolling down my face
LEFT A LADY IN COMPLETE AND UTTER SHOCK!
I mistook a lady that I worked for a long time ago. She was the spitting image of my mothers neighbour. This neighbour was an angel as she helped us so much when my mum was dying. We gave her my mums little dog ,as she loved it so much.
Now then, I came out of the dentist and walked over to boots to buy some paracetamol. I saw this woman turn round from the counter. I flung my arms around her and gave her a kiss. I asked, are you alone? she answered well I have the car in the car park [strange answer i thought] anyway she waited for me to get served. I then said to her, have you been slimming?, you have lost some weight!. She answered, no !. I just havnt been eating the same since I lost my husband .Now with that answer, my brain is saying, lost your husband, thats the first ive heard about it. After standing there puzzled for a while, I TOUCHED HER SHOULDER AND SAID . I hope you dont mind me saying, but wheres he gone? [knowing that the neighbours husband was alive and well] she answered with annoyance in her voice, he died 4 years ago!Still the penny did not drop !! I went on to say oh! I see. Well hows your little dog? She snapped , I HAVNT GOT A DOG!!!!! still the penny failed to drop for what seemed like forever.
Then in a blinding flash , oh my god ,you idiot! By this time she was stood in total and utter shock, I could tell that ,even she wasnt quite sure who she was
.I apologised profusely. What an embarrasing moment that was. I laughed all the way home especialy about the fact that i had gone on to say , hows your little dog.
Now in my defence lol. This woman is the spitting image of the neighbour ,but a little taller. She was wearing an identical coat and has a very similar voice. I had been thinking about my mum as I walked across the road . Do I get away with it? or should I seek help?
