What Not to Say

New locations mean meeting lots of new people.  Trying to be friendly, I asked one woman how old her infant son was.  Her response was, "Oh him?  He was a mistake."  Ok, thanks for sharing.  Can we say awkward?  What's the appropriate response to that?  So, it looks like you made that mistake approximately a year and a half ago?  Maybe coffee mornings should be replaced with cocktail breakfasts.  Those would be much less painful.
