A second embarrassing moment is when I took the wrong journal on the walk that we did and I wrote all of my creative writing stuff in a different notebook and had to put paperclip the pages into my journal. It made me very sad because I didn't want to rewrite all of my things into my other journal. My whole life is just one awkward moment after another.
Besides embarrassing moments my life is full of awkward moments. It seems the awkward and weird people are drawn to me because they think I want to be with my own kind. Once I was picking out a mother's day card for my mom and this creepy guy came up and asked me how old I was. I told him I was sixteen and he walked away and muttered "Oh..." It was an "oh" like "Oh... too bad that's not legal." It was rather awkward and frightening at the same time.
I, too, have a long list of awkward encounters with people I know and don't...Usually not embarrassing, just funny and/or odd. I try not to embarrass my son, but he's getting to that age where he seems more aware of what others think of us. This does not stop him, however, from embarrassing me by arguing with me in front of others or making weird noises at stores.
