    Awkwardddd

    Okay so I spent the day at my parents today because I had some stuff to get done in town. I figured I'd be bored sitting around here so I grabbed an old sketchbook from high school that had a few blank pages left in it so I could occupy myself with drawing while I was here.
     
    My mom saw me drawing and asked if she could look at my sketchbook. I said yeah, handed it to her, and she started flipping through it while I looked over her shoulder. I hadn't seen this sketchbook in probably 3 years, so I had forgotten most of what was in it.
     
    So amidst my usual stuff, horses and dogs and wildlife sketches, suddenly we turn to this uh... "racy" picture that I must have doodled sometime in high school. I had no recollection of it, but it was pretty....graphic. Okay really graphic. I must have gotten bored at some point in class and drew it sometime in like 10th grade. It wasn't even well drawn, which somehow made it worse. I don't usually draw people, much less sexual stuff....ever.
     
    My mom just kind of flipped the page really quick and started awkwardly laughing. She made the best of it, but GEEZ, it sucked. It happened a couple of hours ago and I think my face is still beet red. [8D]
     
    Yep, just needed to share. That was possibly one of the most awkward moments in my life. I don't know whether to laugh or cry, but I sorta feel like doing both.
     
    Either way....I'm going to have a good stiff drink when I get home, methinks. [:D] Soooo awkward.

    What was it? Scan it so we can see it.

    [sm=rotfl.gif] I have a hunch that it probably would be a violation of the forum rules. Just maybe. Perhaps.
     
    It would have to be THAT sketchbook that I picked up to bring along. I have probably 50 I coulda grabbed. Pretty awesome.

    That was possibly one of the most awkward moments in my life.

    I've got ya beat...  Try listening to your dad explain, in GREAT detail, the steps taken during his vasectomy!!  I was sooo embarrassed that I couldn't look him in the eye!

    lol Bully i would have had to have said "Wait... you mean they dont use rubber bands anymore??"[;)]

    That is just bad, LOL. I think I burned everything "racy" that I ever wrote, because I *knew* something like that would happen.

    Try having your boyfriend's mother volunteer herself to help you move out of your dorm (read: show up in your room and say, "Let's pack!!!") and finding the drawer with your... um.... private supplies. [sm=blush.gif]

    You want awkward? I have this er, talent of being able to pick out 'adult' stores that we pass on road trips. I usually road trip with BF's parents. So I try to keep it under control with them. But one time on the way to Key West, I go, "Look BF, Adult Superstore!" and BF's dad turns to BF's mom and goes, "Hon, do ya want me to stop?!"

    This turns into a discussion on how we, as couples, try to out-awkward each other. The conversation kind of dies out.

    BF:"....we're pregnant"
    *long, awkward silence*
    BF: "Just kidding! We stick to (edited for young eyes) to avoid that"
    *DEAD, absolute, silence*

    (ETA: BF is a big fat liar! He was kidding!)


    BF's dad: "You Win"

    [:D]   Okay I think alot of you guys have me beat. I wanted to die last night, but I feel a little better about it today. Could have been worse- at least she found it now, when she can't kick my arse, rather than when I was still in high school. She's been pretty good about not saying anything, which just makes it...more awkward. Fun.[8D]

    ok, you guys, I'll give you the old lady view on that one.  *grin*
     
    Once upon a time in a land far far away (damn, no ... we were in FL on vacation and I live here now *sigh*) ... start again.
     
    Once upon a time LONG AGO there lived this young girl (this is a "reality" post) who, at the age of 16 an 'only child', went on vacation with her parents (not like she had any choice in the matter, you understand). 
     
    Said parents, as parents often are, were extremely predictable and the first thing they ***always*** did upon arrival at a vacation destination was "go buy groceries".  bor-rrrrrinnnnnnnnnnnggggg!!!  (after a 12 hour car ride, young girl really didn't want to trail Mom and Dad around the grocery store while they bought the breakfast cereal THEY wanted and ignored anything she wanted *sigh*) sooooooooooooooo maybe she could play the "I'm old enough" card. 
     
    "How about if you drop me at the motel BEFORE you do groceries and I'll unpack the suitcases and the kitchen stuff you brought and get it all away and get us unpacked while you two go to the store?" (she offered kindly)
     
    IT WORKED!!
     
    So, putting unpacking the kitchen supplies the Mom brought in an empty kitchen was a snap.  Then young girl started unpacking the parental suitcase -- carefully hanging up everything etc. etc. etc.  She picked up the last folded item at the BOTTOM of the parental suitcase and there, dab smack literally in the CENTER of the plain bottom of the case was this little tiny box with XXXX on it.  [do any of you guys even know what the box of real 'natural lambskin' ones look like? they do still sell them]
     
    Oh ... my .... g ... NO WAY.  where do I put those??  If I put THOSE anywhere they'll know I ***TOUCHED*** them, know I saw them ... know I KNOW they have them with them ... they'll know that I know that they still .... OH GAG!!
     
    Ok ... too much information.  unfortunately I sleep in the next room from these people ... and they are PARENTS.  There are just certain things one never ever wants to know about parents -- brands, times and places among them. 
     
    BACK IN THE SUITCASE everything got put.  Albeit not quite as neatly as before but hey -- luggage gets knocked around you know?????  Young girl put away her own stuff, and managed to be "in the process of" BEGINNING to unpack the parental suitcase when said parental units arrived.
     
    Got away with it.  No mention of why the big parental suitcase wasn't totally unpacked.  Phew.
     
    Fast-forward 37 years to last fall.   Some discussion of couples who had kids and didn't want more, and how difficult they found it to discuss with their growing children, but I guess certain things were difficult to discuss with your kids.
     
    Young girl-now-grown-into-in-her-50's-mature woman says to her mother "Really?  such topics might be embarassing?  Naw -- I can't imagine it.  Not any more than I can imagine what my reaction might be at the age of 16    in unpacking my parent's suitcase on vacation and finding a little square box of 'protection' in the middle of the frigging suitcase and how the heck I was going to exist for the next week knowing my parents had brought those darned things TO USE was just a wee bit more information than I wanted to handle so I might have packed up the suitcase again to avoid the situation!"
     
    My 83 year old mother laughed her butt off and said "well THAT solves that age-old mystery -- I wondered when the heck I ever packed a suitcase THAT badly -- I couldn't figure out what had spooked you THAT badly!!!"

    nah i dont care if the parents still get it on... i am just happy to say i never have walked in on the occasion...... kinda.

    remember folks... just because your kid is three years old and appears to be innocent and naive doesnt mean they really ARE!!!!! [:-]

    i will carry the memory of THAT until i am a toothless old hag with half a brain... and with my luck, that half would remain!!
