    Earl should go to the memorial and say “Plethora.” It would mean a lot.

    My wife and I have a friend who told us that the father of one of the members of our church died after suffering a stroke. So that week I bought a sympathy card and took it to church. I placed it in the lady’s mailbox. Between services the lady’s husband approached me in the foyer during the break between the two services and greeted me with a huge smile on his face. He thanked me for the card then said, “…but there’s one thing—he’s not dead.” He did have a stroke but was going to recover. The news that he had died had been inaccurate to say the least. I felt bad and was so embarrassed when his wife approached me. I apologized and she said that it was ok and not to feel bad. Then she said, “Well, he has not really been looking after himself as well as he should be.” I told her that it might snap him to attention by showing him the card. But she said that she would not show it to him. I did feel so bad about making that mistake but she had been so understanding thankfully.

    Ha! It makes a good joke but I’ve never heard anyone say “he’s gone” when asked how their deceased family member is, so if it happened to me my response would likely be “gone?” I would be thinking they’d taken a trip or left their spouse but not that they were dead lol

    There is this episode of Grace Under Fire that reminds me of this. Nadine went home across the yard to get her Christmas cookies. While she was gone, Jean got a phone call saying her husband Emmet had died. When Nadine returns, she sings “Joy to the world! The cookies are done!” When she saw the state everyone else was in, she said “Gee, who died?”

    I attended a church service (not my home church) this past weekend. The pastor announced that someone was no longer in pain. I’m not quite sure if he meant that that person had died.

    I was talking with my sister about texting abbreviations and LOL came up. I said that means Laugh Out Loud and she said, no, it means Lots Of Love. Other people in the room agreed with me and my sister got a mortified look on her face. Turns out a friend had sent a text to her saying her husband had died and my sister sent back her condolences and ended the text with LOL.

    When someone says they lost their husband/wife, I am always tempted to ask “Well, where did you last see them”?

    Wow. Nice one, Earl. But I’ve been there, done that! When I was a teenager I was working as a checker in a grocery store. A lady from my neighborhood/church came through my line and we started chatting. She said, “Oh! You haven’t seen my new baby yet!” I replied excitely, “You already had her?!” :D to which she replied, “I know I’m big, but I’m not THAT big!”. You see, she was a larger lady, and I knew she had been pregnant, but I honestly wouldn’t have known she was if she hadn’t told me. I put a big ol’ foot in my mouth then, but it really was an honest mistake! I really didn’t know, and I didn’t mean to insult her. I have felt bad about that all these years.

    It’s always difficult to know the context in someone else’s head. I was attending an outdoor fair with a party that included my very-pregnant, 30-year-old step-daughter. I ran into an old girlfriend of mine. I introduced her to my party and, because I still remembered the old girlfriend as that twenty-something I had known, I looked at her stomach “bump” and asked her when her baby was due. Oops!

    Hubby and I knew each other 3 years before marriage, went our separate ways. 12 years past and we started dating. I asked how his dad was, “He died”. Just that blunt, I apologized because I had forgotten his dad died. He said it was no big deal.

    Many people say “My bad” instead of “I’m sorry”. That’s not appropriate at a funeral. (paraphrased from Demetri Martin)

    How do you respond when they say they are considering joining him?

    What about when they say for you to go on ahead to let him know they are on the way?

    Me and my car were snowed in for most of February. I was glad that my across the street neighbor let me know the the woman next door to me had died, before I ran into her husband or son.

    There is a time in life when you do not ask a lady with a tummy when the baby is due. And then there’s…Earl’s time of life when you make no assumptions about ANYthing someone tells you.

    Then there was the joke about the one businessman who phones the other and his (British) secretary tells him “You can’t see him, he’s gone to the United Kingdom.” The first businessman says “Oh my God! Is it too late to send flowers?”
