Ok, let's get some activity back to the family site, shall we? All who read must comment:
Please share your most recent awkward moment. Here's mine:
Sitting on the stage at the end of mutual (the "end" being at 8pm when they all stop and play basketball in the gym) with James and Caleb, waiting for the 2 beehives, whom I was giving a ride home. It was our first mutual in this new ward and we both sat there and came to the realization that we were not in Sugar Land anymore...it was like Bizzaro World mutual in a dimly lit, half-court, carpetted cultural hall.

I'm not part of the family but it will feel so therapeutic to unload what happened to me on Saturday night.
My husband's boss, Lupe (short for Guadalupe) had a birthday fiesta with the whole office staff and their spouses at a Mexican restaurant. Lupe ordered a virgin pina colada, and when the waiter set it down on the table I exclaimed, "OOH, it's The Virgin of Guadalupe!" Nobody laughed, except me. A table dominated by Catholics no less. I spent the rest of the evening shoving chips in my mouth to silence another potential outburst.
Poor elasticwaistbandlady. :( I hate awkward moments! Unfortunately they happen too often to me, as well! Here is a recent one:
Zook and I had to attend a board meeting for the performing arts foundation we're involved with. Since we're both on the board they usually accomadate us by having the meetings at our house after the kids are in bed. The other night we had to hold the meeting somewhere else and we had to bring all 3 kids. By and large they did extremely well and were very quiet. But, H and O kept making paper airplanes and sent them flying into the back of people's heads through the whole meeting. :)
I am so not a member of the family either elasticwaistbandlady, but I keep hoping for my fake ID.
I think my most recent was in the Stake Presidents office, when I asked to do a new calling, I bobbed my head, and started a nervous twitch, and the words "Are you sure this insperation rather than despertaion" ummm.. I sure there was even some drool.
It wasn't oh so pretty
Oh and Suz, that is hillarious about your kiddo's. *smile*
The other day at the gym and handsome guy walked in and smiled at me and I walked right into the wieght machine and bumped my head on the obviously protruding hand grasp. How does this happen to one who is happily married to someone she adores? So embarassing when you're so obvious.
Hi all you O's. I miss you.
My hubby and I call each other frequently during the day eagor to hear the sweet sound of one another's voice (or to talk to another adult). Despite our eagorness to reach out and talk to someone we usually sit in silence with nothing important to say until one of us has to go.
I've got a doozy! On Saturday, Dad and I were running errands and went to the cleaners. I had been driving and when I came back out I put the key in the ignition and turned it. It wouldn't start. It made that sound like it was about to start but it wouldn't turn over. It's a brand new car, it was full of gas, and the battery was good. After about 15 minutes we finally called roadside assistance and they said they would dispatch a tow truck. I then called my Dad (good old Grandpa's Roadside Assistance!) to come and pick us up. I haven't had car problems for years and I was really perplexed/annoyed/confused....As I was looking at the keys in the ignition I suddenly noticed that they didn't look familiar. "Are those MY keys?" Dad looked and said, "No, those are my keys!" We looked at each other and just roared. We had been trying to start the car with his Accura keys instead of mine. They almost worked, but not quite. The embarrassing part came when we had to call and cancel the tow truck and my parents. My mom thought it was the funniest thing to happen in ages. She is still laughing about it.
I bet it made grandma feel good to know that her own child had a "senior moment."
mo. youve reminded me. the day i met my father-in-law he dropped sho-boat and i off somewhere and went to run errands before going back to the rental house. after 15 min or so, my brother-in-law came running into the apartment we were at and said his dad couldnt get the car started. i ran back with him and immediatly saw the car was not in park and therefore couldnt be started... i mention this because although it was more embarassing for my father-in-law, pointing out a simple error like that can be just as embarassing for the pointer-outer!!
Spence- On Saturday we filled up with gas while Taylor was driving. When we were done the car wouldn't start! I immediately checked to see if the car was in "Park" and it wasn't! Ha! Thanks for your comment... without it we would probably still be sitting in the Chevron parking lot feeling frustrated and bewildered (our AAA membership ran out). :)
At least you were using the right key!
