That awkward moment when an eleven year old sees you training with a monofin sans tail and proceeds to try to get you to convince her dad to let her get a finfun.

That awkward moment when I'm calmly doing my job at a hotel in Orlando, when the subject of Boynton Beach comes up in discussion with a guest. I mentioned that I was there last year for the Pirate and Mermaid festival last year, and her 7-year-old daughter lost her sh*t over her excitement that there were real mermaids in their city.
They were in supreme disbelief, so I had to show them a picture of me in tail.
Her daughter seemed to die of excitement, and said that she doesn't need to see the mermaids anymore, because she just met one in person. I feel special now. :)
Not even an awkward moment. More like magical! You just made her so happy!
The awkward part about it is that I normally don't talk about my "other job" at my day job, especially with guests. This was the only time I made an exception.
Ah, gotcha 😉
Congrats, though!
Update: The family came back, brought the father and grandmother, and the little girl introduced me as the real mermaid to the rest of the family, and begged me to show them the picture I showed her. They all know my (actual) name very well now. The grandmother told me that she is a mermaid in her dreams.
Oh, and they all bought tickets from me, giving me roughly $20 in commission.
tamw one is happily swimming in the pool and everything is going really well until one faceplants the pool bottom....
Hahaha!! Sorry for laughing I've totally done this too!Quote:

So I haven't been on here a while, so I'll share an awkward moment from a few months ago.
I'm sure quite a few of you remember the guy I go to college with who had a photo of me on his door with #datethemermaid right? (if not see previous posts on this thread)
WELL. On Valentine's weekend I get a text from him saying
"Hey I just really wanted to let you know how much I appreciated your crush-gram you put on my door on Valentine's day! Sorry I wasn't there to personally receive it, but it was totally unexpected and really awesome"
... I didn't send a crush-gram.. Some idiot in his dorm pretended to give him one from me as a way to make fun of him..

Oh wow.
That is so awkward. Ouch.
Perhaps he just SAID that to initiate a conversation?
Oh no, I got a photo of the gram, it's on my old phone but I'll see if I out it on my computer or not hahaQuote:

TAWM when you are on the set of a TV-show as a mermaid (had to pretend to be a candidate at a talent-show as a mermaid) and 1 of the main actors asked if he can take a pic with you together.
Oooh what TV show??
A show for a Dutch TV-channel here in Belgium.
Attachment 38102 <= a pic of me with one of the many other extra's on set ;)
