We've all had them with guests. They come out with something that just makes anything else you have to say just seem wrong. For instance...
Tonight three adults came through my lane with a nice dress and a button down sweater over it, both hanging on the same hanger. He proceeded to tell me they were two separate prices and they had put that together to see if it looked good. I was about to say it did, or something to that effect, when he went on. He told me that they were buying it for their niece's funeral to put her in the ground in. There was NOTHING I could say after that (beyond I'm sorry for your loss) that didn't seem trivial or just plain the wrong thing to say.
