I can be too serious if I’m not careful. So I have to purposely inject a little humor in my day to lighten up and feel happy some days. My goal today is to infuse your day with some of the best medicine there is, laughter. I admit to experiencing all of the following awkward scenarios, and dare to say some of you have too.
The Ear Lock:You go in for a hug and your ear has its own agenda ~ to hook up with the other person’s ear. Awkward.
The Pinball Glance: You’re caught glancing at someone, you look away then look back, just as they look away and look back, triggering a pinball effect of shifty glances that neither party can seem to stop.
Where’s the fire? You’re sitting around in a group and everyone leaves the room simultaneously, except for you and the one person in the group you haven’t met or don’t know. You are tempted to bolt out like the room is on fire but your civilized voice keeps you there, trying to think of something to say.
The Intercepted Wave: You’re caught in the middle of an across-the-room, person to person wave. You’re pretty sure the person is looking right at you, and since you don’t want to appear rude, you wave back, just as you turn your head to see the real target of the wave. So you do what we all do in that situation, smooth your hair and act as if nothing happened.
The Deer in Headlights Eater: You walk into the kitchen unannounced and surprise someone just as they’re hunched over a piece of food, looking up guiltily. You act as though you don’t notice but it’s too late ~ the animalistic vibe is out there.
If you felt uncomfortable while reading any of these examples, then I have done my job today. If I made you laugh, then you have made my day.

Oh my gosh Ann, SO funny!!! I have experienced these awkward moments myself…among others, LOL! I’m one of those people who, when I feel awkward, has a brain melt-down…I cannot think of a single thing to say to ease the situation! Which makes it that much worse! Thanks for the laugh :)
You definitely made me laugh! I have been unfortunate enough to have experienced all of these! Have a great weekend!
Been there done that! Yep, yep I def felt a little uncomfortable! :D
lol! Made me smile and laugh Ann. Yup, we’ve all done those. My problem is more the other way. I’m often not serious enough. But I have to tell you my most awkward moment was when I took all of my grands to a movie a year or so again. My 18 year old grandson Kade and I went to kiss each other on the cheek. We turned at the same time and ended up kissing on the mouth. Oh boy, how weird was that to have actually kissed your granny? Thanks for sharing with SYC.
hugs,
Jann
