Another Reason It's Bad to Mumble

This is the gist of a real conversation I had while walking to Family Home Evening.

Guy from church: So, do most NYU students stay in the dorms?
Me: Well, yeah, mostly. Some get their own apartments, a few even get married.
Me, mumbling: But mostly it's university housing or an apartment...
Me, in less of a mumble: That's my plan, anyway.
Guy from church: To get married?

Oh, gosh. That's a good reason not to mumble.

(On a personal note, the exchange was even more distressing for me because it came only days after my sister told me I am of "marrying age." Eek.)
