Comic relief curbs tense moment

We have all been there when that one well meaning person, who experiences times when his or her brain does not seem to keep up with their mouth, has just had a sentence escape that they and someone else both wish could be snatched back.
Today as Mike and I exited my OB/Gyn's office into his waiting room, I heard some random woman say..... "That's the problem with coming here. Everyone thinks that everyone else is pregnant" Since I was not in the conversation nor even sure who made the statement, I continued to the door where there were a couple women ahead of Mike and I. As we walked to the elevator there was one woman inside holding the door . As I waited for these two women to board, the one in front of me nervously asked.... " is there room for us ?" the woman inside responded" it's just me in here..... I know I'm big, but I think you can fit"( this woman was less than half of my size) The two women entered as did Mike and I. Once in, the first woman in said" gee... first you mistake me for being pregnant.... now you imply that I take up a whole elevator ! then the woman nervously laughed .The third woman repeated what I heard in the office "That's the problem with coming here. Everyone thinks that everyone else is pregnant" There was then silence as my eyes shifted to Mike he laughed and blurted out "Don't look at me !" everyone laughed as we exited the elevator. Yep sometimes comedy does break a tense situation.
