The audiologist wanted me to do a good comparison of the new vs the old aids, so yesterday I was back to a quieter world, but today I didn’t want to miss a thing. New it was.
The Relief Society (the women’s organization at church) lesson was just starting, and the woman picked up a red marker to write a point on the white board.
It took me so very much by surprise that I suddenly realized I’d said it out loud hopefully not too loud, “You can actually HEAR that?!” I knew from my childhood that chalks squeak, but dry erase markers?!
And then sank into my seat half covering my face like a little kid in class, silently going ohmygosh. I can’t believe I said that.
It enhances the embarrassment that I heard me better, too, as I said it.
