I wish I had an “impending danger” meter that would warn me when I’m about to do something stupid…but perhaps it would be red-lining too often. Share my latest embarrassment in class with me.

Me (to a kid who’s packing up after class): has anyone ever told you that you look like Wayne Brady?

Kid: yeah, the ladies I work with tell me that all the time. I don’t know if that’s a compliment, though.

Me: Sure it is! Wayne is hot!

Kid: Well, then…

Me: …and I think I just accidentally told you that you’re hot. That was inappropriate. I’m sorry.

*leaving without eye contact*

How would you redeem this situation?
