I have moments where I choke down a comment to save the face of the person with which I’m speaking. I just think that it’s better to smile about what happened later, rather than make the other person feel bad.

Case in point:

Friend: “I’ve been studying astronomy at school lately.”

Me: “Really? What’s your favourite part?”

Friend: “Finding out so much information that I did not know before. Like scientist attempting to confirm that Uranus has slight rings around it.”

Me: blink blink.
