Party Talk

I really have foot-in-mouth-disease sometimes, especially after two glasses of wine (red) at parties. I was recently listening to a woman who had received chickens and a chicken coop for her 50th birthday (romantic, she said !!!) describe their demise by a bear while she and her husband were out of town. Their sad death was reported to her by their neighbor. As if in an out-of-body experience I said to her, "Ooh, did she describe the bear as 'eating them like popcorn!?' That's what I always hear people say when they talk about the bears getting into chicken coops." The woman was rather confused, but said that ,no, she hadn't heard any references to popcorn. Duh, why do I take that blond chick anywhere? She says the most astounding things.Perhaps I won't let her drink, next time.
