So today I (35m) was in a meeting with my boss (27f) and a few other coworkers discussing a new project we were working on. We were going over some details and my boss was explaining something to me when I accidentally called her "mom."
I immediately realized my mistake and apologized profusely, but the damage was done. My coworkers couldn't stop laughing and my boss just looked at me with a mix of amusement and disbelief.
To make matters worse, I found out later that the entire meeting was recorded and shared with the rest of the company (~200 people). I'm now known as the guy who called his boss "mom" in a meeting.
Lesson learned: always pay attention to who you're talking to in meetings and never, ever call your boss "mom."
tl;dr: Called my boss "mom" in a meeting and now I'm known as the guy who made that mistake.
