So, this happened a few days ago and I’m still cringing about it. My 16-year-old sister is pregnant, and while our family is supportive, it’s been a challenging time for her. We’ve all been trying to make her feel comfortable and loved.The other day, we were all hanging out in the living room. My sister walked in wearing a new dress, and I guess she was feeling a bit self-conscious. In an attempt to make her feel better, I blurted out, “Wow, you look so much bigger now!” The room went silent. My sister’s face turned a shade of red I didn’t even know was possible.She looked at me with a mix of shock and hurt in her eyes, and I realized my mistake immediately. I meant to say something like “glowing” or “radiant,” but my brain malfunctioned and out came the worst possible word. Trying to backtrack, I stammered, “I mean, you’re glowing and you look so… healthy and… strong!” But the damage was done. She mumbled something about needing to use the restroom and left the room. My mom gave me a death glare and my dad just shook his head. I felt like the biggest jerk in the world. Later, I apologized to my sister, and thankfully, she’s a very forgiving person. She laughed it off and said she knew I didn’t mean any harm, but I still feel terrible about it.

TL;DR: Tried to compliment my pregnant sister, ended up calling her ‘bigger’ instead, and now I feel like a complete idiot
