Awkward Moment Forty Seven: Why Parents Shouldn't Use Technology

This is probably the most awkward thing that has ever happened to me. So Georgie and I have been hanging out with these two boys, Mitchell and Noah (shocking right? That in itself could be a whole post), and my mum was super excited. I did have a small crush on Mitchell and my mum totally thought we were going to date. Talk about jumping the gun. Anyways, I realized that I didn't really like him so there goes that. The other day I receive a text from him saying, "Btw your mum friend requested me on Facebook." I started freaking out. I couldn't even ask my mum what happened because she had already gone to sleep. I was lying in my bed sweating to death because I didn't even know how to react to that. I ended up blaming my brother for doing that in attempts to embarrass me. Meanwhile Georgie has about 100 texts from me freaking out. I could just picture her killing herself laughing while I'm sitting over here thinking the world is over. Luckily he wasn't weirded out by the whole situation and he thought it was funny. I asked my mum about it the next day and she thought it was hilarious but she didn't mean to send the request. I guess while creeping his page she accidentally clicked it. All I have to say is thank god it wasn't someone I actually really liked. AWKWARD!

PS. In case you were wondering, no they are not Facebook friends.

Awkward Moment Forty Six: Seniors and Their Wild Antics

Hey, you know what's super awkward? EVERYTHING!

But what is particularly awkward is when you're standing on platform 9 and 3 quarters and you run straight at the barrier between platforms 9 and 10 and the barrier has sealed itself shut!!!!! And you can't get through!!!! You just crash straight into the wall and the security guard tells you to watch where you're going and you hang your head in shame and say "sorry, lost control of the trolley". And your owl goes crashing to the ground and everyone around you thinks you are crazy and an animal abuser. SO AWKWARD.

But really. What's awkward is when you're standing on the platform at lougheed skytrain station and an old lady standing near you comes over and points to the person near you and says in a loud voice "is that a boy or a girl???" and you just smile as if smiling will make you disappear into thin air, as if smiling really big will save you from the awkward and say through your teeth "I think that's definitely a girl". And the old lady says "wow, I couldn't tell!" And you say "yup" through your teeth, still smiling and staring straight ahead.

And the whole time you are just praying that the girl didn't hear any of this because that would be extremely..

AWKWARD.
