How do you prevent this situation from becoming more socially awkward?

Asked by jlm11f (12413points) February 1st, 2009

My mother did this at a party once. We still make fun of her for it, and were remembering the incident today. She asked one of the ladies there, “Oh when are you expecting?” The lady, who was very not pregnant apparently looked at her and said “What?” in an annoyed tone. And luckily I got to witness the whole thing :).

My question is, if you had committed this faux pas, how would you have responded to the not pregnant lady to help reduce the akwardness of the situation?
