Six Word Memoirs on Life Stories

lillybrook says,

I can't think of a time that really matters to me, but this question made me think of one time when I (unintentionally) stole someone else's thunder. A friend came to have lunch with me to tell me she'd decided to leave her husband. We hadn't seen each other in a while, and I was 6 months pregnant at the time. She walked in, all ready for a conversation focused on her and her decision and her process... and then she saw my big, round belly, paused, and said, "Oh. You're pregnant." Then she didn't have much to say about the divorce.

I would've gladly listened, but I guess she felt that her long-in-coming bad news was sort of trumped by my surprise good news.

I always seem to willingly hand it over. I am more like the lightening than the thunder.
