sounding old

I was walking home from the dentist the other night. It was a bit chilly so I was walking at a good clip. I think I had my iPod playing tunes. Up ahead I watched this poor girl take a real nose dive into the sidewalk, she let out fairly loud yelp too. Her cell phone crashed and went into 3 pieces. I was already walking towards her, so I bent down, picked up the cell phone parts and asked her if she was OK. She was rubbing her shin and knee but her stocking wasn't ripped. We assumed it would just be a be a big bruise. Then out of no where I said, "That's what you get for walking and talking on the phone". I really meant it to be funny but for some crazy reason my tone was very motherly like. Pretty sad. Cause I walk most of the time while chatting on the phone. Maybe now I'll reconsider it.
