I think I might have been tad inappropriate.
I have as you are aware through various updates on the blog done a whole lot of cooking and baking today and one among the many things was cheese scones of which I made a dozen mostly because whenever I make such things I like to give them away and so once they were done with the baking and clicking I packed some and made for my friends house.
Her husband opened the door clad in rather short shorts which much be a normal thing perhaps since he's on the skinnier end of the spectrum and I wouldn't have noticed this small detail had those shorts not been quite as short, at least shorter than what I've usually seen men wear, not that it's a bother but definitely a slight eyebrow raising moment because they were trying to become speedo or something..so anyway I beamed my usual smile and walked inside the house and noticed that it was dark and there was no activity.
I handed over the baked goods and casually asked him if he was all alone.
Now that's an oopsie because he was looking at the scones at that moment, perhaps marvelling at their cheesiness and he suddenly looked up at me, blushed a bit and then I realised that I hadn't put forth my question properly.
So I tried rectifying my mistake by smiling and saying that it was nice he was alone and I shouldn't have said that either because that came out all wrong.
Those few seconds were probably the longest I've spent with him because he's my friend's husband and by no means someone I know personally and at most an acquaintance to me but now he looked up at me bewildered and glanced back at the dark house and promptly turned on a switch and immediately said that he was expecting his wife (my friend) any moment now.
Uh, oh!
I might have scared him I think and I beamed yet again, smiling a broader smile than last and immediately said my good byes and left.
That was awkward!
I didn't mean for any of it to go as it went.
That's why one doesn't make small talks, at least I shouldn't because they rarely ever go well.
I'm feeling silly now!
