This morning...

Teacher: *hands out copies of reading*

Teacher: the author is good, he says 'bad' when he means 'bad', there's also 'good', 'poor'...

Me: (thinking) huh... pour? pall? ... confused

Me: *flips page*

Me: (thinking) oh! poor!

Yesterday, after chamber choir rehearsal...

Some sopranos: *enthusiastically discussing and singing something, which sounded like it was from some Mozart opera to me*

A: *rolls eyes* sopranos...

B and me: *smiles*

Me: (wanted to say) hmm, so... are you a soprano or an alto??
[in joking manner, cos she's actually a soprano but she's been singing alto since we will only be a pathetic two in numbers if she didn't join us]

But I refrained from saying anything. What if the tone came out wrong? Or what if she took it too seriously?? What if she didn't think it was funny? And anyway, I didn't even know her personally, I only knew her name. I think jokes/witty stuff are easier to say when one's in the company of friends rather than we-just-happen-to-have-met people. Not like it was an extremely witty/funny remark anyway, which is probably the main thing that causes me to doubt its effectiveness and wonder about the what-ifs that could arise.

By the way, some of the conversation (or 'conversation') were paraphrases of the actual incidents. This aging brain of mine just can't keep up. =(
