Awkward Moment Thirteen: A slip of the tongue.

This is a good one. A slip of the tongue make situations extremely awkward and hilarious. It can be anything from telling the guy you like you love him on a first date, or trying to come up with a nickname for someone named Gisele, and calling her Jizzy, to accidentally saying orgasm in biology instead of organism. It’s funny when it happens to someone else, but when you’re the one saying it, the situation because very awkward and embarrassing.

     When my mum was a little girl she lived about 2 minutes away from the local gas station. Every week she would go and buy a treat for herself. Unlike today’s gas stations, all the candy was behind the counter, and you would have to tell the clerk what you wanted. So one day she got to the gas station and was very excited to buy herself Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. She said to the clerk, “Can I please have Reese‘s penis butter cups.” She was so humiliated and felt so awkward (she was just a little girl), that she turned around and ran out. She didn’t even get her Reese's Peanut Butter Cups!  So AWKWARD!!

Awkward Moment Nine: Watching an inappropriate movie with your parents.

     I don’t know who hasn’t experienced this. How awkward is it when your watching an R rated, completely inappropriate movie with your parents. You all know something awkward to watch is about to pop up on the screen. A steamy love scene perhaps? Whatever kind of scene it is, there is no way of avoiding the awkwardness. When this happens, my whole body stiffens and the room goes unbearably silent. Of course my parents feel awkward and uncomfortable too. None of us know what to do with ourselves. It’s such a relief when what seems like a 3 hour scene is finally over! What more can I say. AWKWARD!!
