Need to think before I open my mouth

We had just finished transporting an elderly couple to the hospital after his wife took a small spill (apparently, a common occurrence). The husband was very nice and grateful, and I started feeling a bit uncomfortable with all his thanks. So, I stupidly replied, "It's all fun and games to us!". He took it well, saying he knew that, but wanted us to know how much he appreciated our service.
In thinking back, thank god that was not a more critical situation. I didn't realize that I just made light of a potentially serious situation. Next time, I'll just say we enjoy doing this...
