Awkward Erin Moment

Well, I guess it was bound to happen someday ... I was just hoping it would be later ... much later!

We ran into Dillon's for a quick potty break, and after coming out of a really nasty bathroom, Erin spies two guys and a girl coming toward us. They are probably 18-22 years old, and having a nice time chatting together. Well, Erin, who earlier in the evening had requested a ball out of a "gumball machine" but we didn't have time to get one, sees an opportunity to find some common ground with this small bunch of people, and bursts out, arms flapping wildly (still drying her hands from the handwashing after touching every imaginable surface in the nasty bathroom), "Do you boys have any balls?"

Wow, what do you even say to follow that? I would have to say that 1. my daughter is very friendly and 2. I hope she learns some tact in the future. However, when it comes to building relationships and starting conversations, she's one of a kind! Have a great day and enjoy!
