and then my lips parted....and I was doomed

Ok, I did it again. My lips parted and allowed speech to penetrate the air that my brain had not the opportunity to censor. A friend and I were driving back from a movie we had seen with two of her friends. The topic had shifted from a variety of subjects, and somehow drifted to a confession. She feared her dentist appointment that was a few days away, nervous that the dentist might decide that her wisdom teeth must be removed. As we were pulling up in her driveway, I affirmed her fears, and than stupidly said ?yeah, you don?t want your cheeks to swell up any more?. As she was putting the car in park, she looked at me with question marks in her eyes, ?What you mean, ?any more??, the statement was almost a challenge as much as it was a question. I looked at her and paused?.?Uh?um?.I like you as a person!? and on that note I jumped out of that car like my faded blue jeans were on fire. The goodbye was awkward to say the least. On the drive home I searched for some explanation in my brain why I would try to amend the situation with the statement, ?I like you as a person?. For the record, she is a very attractive girl, and I have a bad, mouth. Bad mouth, no food for you!
