Good Start

I was walking from the parking lot to our work building today when I crossed paths with a co-worker. The following conversation took place:

Me: (jokingly) "Headed home already?"

Co-Worker: (checks watch) "Well, I did come in at 5:30, but I'm leaving now because I'm going to be with my sister-in-law who is having a brain tumor removed."

Me: "Oh...umm...well, sorry. I...uh...didn't mean to be joking."

Co-Worker: "Yep, have a good day."

Me: "Good luck!"
