This happened probably around 10 years ago but every time I think about it I cringe from embarrassment. A friend of mine was hosting a get-together for our friend group, which we did every so often. I dated that friend for a few months in high school so I got to know his mom quite well. She seemed to have always liked me and while my friends were doing something else, I wanted to catch up with her.

She had a dog and a daughter, named Stance and Chance. She told me that Stance had a puppy and she showed me a picture. The puppy didn't look anything like the dog they owned, so knowing the mom can take a joke I said confidently "damn, what kind of dog jumped on her?". She looked at me confused for a few seconds, a light bulb went on for her and she said, looking me in the eye "Stance is my daughter".

I profusely apologized, and after what must have been the longest minute of my life wanting to sink through the chair, I stood up and joined my friends again.

TL;DR - I accidentally asked my friends mom what kinda dog had puppies with her daughter (Stance) instead of her dog (Chance).
