Um, I’ll Let You Know…Things People Say Just to Be Polite
11. I’m so sorry to hear that.
I’m always super awkward when it comes to deaths and terminal illnesses. I mean, what do you say when your hairstylist tells you her great grandma was diagnosed with stage three lung cancer? I have never met that lady in my life, so am I really sorry to hear that? I’m definitely not happy about it, but I will probably walk out with my fresh wash and curl and worry more about what I want when it comes to the toppings on my pizza. I’ve always been more of a fan of, “My condolences,” or “I’ll keep you in prayers,” since that is something I can sincerely do.
