Just recently noticed that the replacement for our old grumpy caretaker at DDs school is a rather dishy southerner. We first met a few weeks ago over a discussion about parking on the school grounds. This guy is seriously hot and since then we have been waving and smiling whenever we have caught eyes with each other. So he approached me this morning with 'hows it going' it really caught me off guard. I had slept late this morning. Face felt crusty, Gummage esque hair, old baggy clothes on. I started chatting anyway with the usual 'How you settling in' ect and he goes 'it's great, I've been here 7 month now' I was surprised as I have only met him a couple of weeks ago and came out with this absolute corker. '7 months? snort That says a lot about my observational skills as a parent, you could have been a bloody peadophile walking around the place' .... please......someone....shoot me now. Blush or better yet, please tell me some of your David Brent Cringey one liners. This one will haunt me.

I'm still cringing at myself. It's one of those that's gonna pop back into my head just as I'm about to go to sleep.

OMG! What did he say to that?!

He just kinda fake laughed Hmm with that face. I knew instantly my mistake. I was saved by two builders who approached him asking for the main reception so I took the opportunity to scurry off shouting 'bye' ... I am dreading seeing him again!

Just continue on as normal and don’t bring it up again 😂 it’ll all be fine. We all have brain farts like that from time to time.

He probably gets it all the time if he’s seriously hot OP - ladies probably go all silly and say random shit to him all the time. It’s probably not the worst he’s heard.

Try not to think of it anymore - you poor thing!
