I've Lived In This Town For Far Too Long

Today, I greeted a family friend who had her grandchild out for the day thusly:

"Hi (name)! Lovely to see you!" then proceeded to say:
"And there's that pretty granddaughter!"

Only I didn't say 'pretty'. Nope, not me. I said "Purdy". I'm not sure what bothered me more, the fact I had said it, or the fact that it went unnoticed.

I think I died a little inside today. Now, I must go read the dictionary.
