The wrong goodbye, and a good story afterwards
Deb ends a work call with 'love you' and immediately wants the floor to open. She is usually the organised person in the office; a morning of calls and requests has left her mouth choosing the wrong goodbye. The printer engineer replies with equal affection and an instruction to try tray two. When he calls back to check the printer, he carries on normally. Later, Deb tells her youngest what happened. Instead of asking whether they have eaten or reminding them about something, she has a story that makes them both laugh. She tells Rosie about the embarrassment and the unexpectedly nice family call that followed.
What Rosie brings to the conversation
Rosie enjoys the funny detail and asks what happened next, giving Deb room to tell the less polished version of her working day. The ordinary call with her youngest matters as much as the punchline.

Deb: I told the printer engineer, 'Love you.' On a work call.
Rosie: Did he fix the printer or your whole day?
Deb: I wanted the floor to open. I'm supposed to be the organised one at work.
Rosie: What did he say?
Deb: 'Love you too. Try tray two.' No pause. Completely professional.
Deb: I'd been ringing home, answering the office phone, sorting everyone out. My mouth just picked the wrong goodbye.
Rosie: A very affectionate help desk.
Deb: I was going to avoid ringing him ever again. Then he called back to check the printer. Just carried on normally.
Rosie: No announcement to the entire office?
Deb: No. Only in my head. I told my youngest later. Usually it's, 'Have you eaten? Do you need anything?' This time we both laughed.
Rosie: You got to be the funny call.
Deb: For once. They said, 'Please don't marry the printer man.' It's nice having something to tell them that isn't a reminder.
Rosie: If you've had a goodbye escape too, subscribe for our next catch-up.
