SUBREDDIT: r/tifu
TITLE: TIFU by making an insensitive comment during a Make A Wish foundation visit
POST: So I've been browsing reddit for awhile now but just decided to create an account today to tell you all my fuck up.

This just happened a few hours ago... 
So I am a game developer and today we had the incredible pleasure of being hosts to an awesome kid who, through the Make  A Wish foundation, made a wish to visit our studio and be a game dev for a day! To think that a sick child's one wish is to be apart of my day to day is a very powerful thought. I told myself any chance I had to make sure this kid gets as much joy out of today as he possibly could, I would make sure to go out of my way to make it happen! 
Fast forward to the studio play test where a large group of us, including the child and his parents were playing our game and having a good time. We wanted to make sure the kid had a blast so we may or may not have turned down our skill level a bit in order to make sure we were giving him a fully engaging experience. 
Here is where I fuck up... after one of the matches was over, the kid had the top score on his team so I jokingly said "Hey, does your back hurt? you really carried your team".  I immediately regretted opening my mouth since the joke was clearly lost in translation and the kid's reply was "Mostly in the morning, but not so much when I'm gaming". My heart sank.
TL;DR: 
I jokingly made a comment about a sick child's back hurting in reference to him carrying his team to victory. He didn't understand the joke and proceeded to answering my question in all seriousness.
