All you need is...

Have you ever accidentally said "Love you!" at the end of a business call? I've absent-mindedly done it a handful of times in my life and it's mortifying, even though it really should just be something humorous to laugh about.

It just now happened to a vendor who I was ordering supplies from on the phone. The conversation ended with me saying "Okay, thanks much!" and her saying "Okay, love you!" Then a brief awkward silence before she hung right up. I could just feel the ohmygod waves through the phone.

But, I guess it's nice to know that when that happens, it means the person has someone(s) in their life who they say "I love you" to often enough that it's become second nature.

that's hilarious, embarrassing and sweet all at the same time! i have never done that (to my knowledge) but do remember calling my daycare teacher "grandma" when i was about 4. its one of the only times in my life that i've ever mixed up anyone's name. my dad accidentally called me "dear" and a number of other pet names that he used with my stepmom when they were engaged ... it annoyed me, but i never said anything. it was obvious that he wasn't doing it on purpose. it bugs him enough that no one in his family can ever get his name right on the first try. there are only two boys, but they both get called david michael or michael david or whoever you are!
