i was out eating lunch at a cheap Mexican restaurant with a large group of people last friday, when it happened.
the group consisted of my mom, sister and cousin, my cousin's super cute roommate, their friend tiffany and her husband, matt, tiffany's mom and her mom's friend, nancy.
we were generally being silly and enjoying ourselves when tiffany, paraphrasing the book of genesis, said, "thus noah and all who were with him were saved; eight souls in all."
she then jokingly asked, "so noah, there's nine of us here. who would you choose to save if there was another flood?"
approaching the joke in a very analytical manner, I gave her a serious answer.
"well," i replied, "if we're assuming that the earth needs to be repopulated then matt and myself, being the only males, are automatically in, and since you're his wife, you would be included as well."
tiffany's eyes got pretty big and, smiling, she said. "there's only so many women at this table that you're not related to..."
in response i turned to my cousin's cute roommate and said the words that every young woman hopes to hear a man say...
"well, looks like you're it by default."
...
it wasn't the most egregious error that i've ever made when it comes to the opposite sex, it just happens to be the most recent.
