Not so much an awkward moment, but after going outside to hang the washing out find you kid sitting on the couch with your Merfin and one of your bras on and them having him look at you with the biggest smile on his face and say "look mummy!! I'm a mermaid like you!!" :lol:
*He's 5*
That awkward moment when you bring your mermaid artwork to Easter brunch to show your sister and your grandmother finds that you drew a few bare chested, and shares this with everyone present in the most embarrassing way possible. "Oh my, {Erryngwir} has been drawing naked ladies! Is this what they teach at art school?" Lol.
Some male fish actually have a specialized fin they insert into the female to fertilize the eggs. It's only certain species though. I find fish mating a very interesting topic, personally.Quote:

That awkward moment when you are ready to dive but forgot how to swim. (Happen to me often with having Aquaphobia. :$ )
Oh geez, that sounds really scary Scottish :(
It's not that bad, it's getting into the water that's the problem after that I'm fine. :D
I'm the same when the water's cold lol xD
haha that awkward moment when a fish swims into your face and it scares you so bad you start flopping around in the water like fish on land xD
I can SOOO relate haha
That ackward moment you find out you got an 80+ year old fan in the swimming pool. She always wanted to see a mermaid, but never could. Guess yesterday was her lucky day, even if she knew it was fake, she was watching me doing silly things in the water with my tail
But that's not awkward that's awesome..
It was ackward the moment she told me, especially since elderly are kinda raised in one direction, you better behave and work hard. So it was ackward at first, but then cool :)
That awkward moment when you twist you ankle and can't swim for two weeks, post it up on facebook and your nana comments on your status LOL because she thinks it means "Lots Of Love"

Afterwards she was like OH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! She had to send another text out explaining she thought LoL was Lots of Love. XD
Some fish do birth their young, like guppies and mollies. Its not that uncommon, and most pet stores will have several species of live bearers. Perhaps mermaids are one too!Quote:

That awkward moment when you've been in the pool for 4+ hours and find out you've been locked out of the hotel room and have to wander around the convention looking for your friends with your best friend trailing behind you carrying your dripping tail.
The continued awkward moment when you can't walk well (all wobbly and what not) and people go "Awww, that's the mermaid from earlier! She can't walk yet!" >< Derp. Or "Are you okay?!" "Yeah, just got my legs."
That awkward moment when you decide to take a nap in your tail during a convention and photographers are like "HELL YEAH! PHOTO OP!" ><
That awkward moment when a 4-6 year old girl (she was young) demands to brush your hair with a fork then goes on a rant about how you're "not really Ariel because Ariel's hair is longer and thicker." And a few other reasons. ><
That awkward moment when you have to explain to your roommate (Or any one, really) that you need silicone sex toy cleaner and water based lube for your tail.... Yeah....
OH AND THIS:
That awkward moment when you get to swim for the first time ever in your home made fabric tail and a photographer holds up a piece of fabric and asks quite loudly, "Is this your fin?" >< Derp... (I had bi-fins and made a "pocket" for each like Ariel's fluke)
This may not be kinda awkward . But when swimming in your tail for a few hours at a local outside pool an children are all around you. You have to get out when it starts to thunder an lightning. So I was walking back to my truck an one of the children was almost beside me ( she didn't see my change out of my tail) She kept looking at my leggs an my face. Then I smiled at her an then she said " OH !! YOU REALLY DO HAVE LEGGS !!." Her mother an I looked at each other an I , an she an I just busted out laughing so hard our bellies hurt.
That awkward moment when you take your kilt off and dawn a beautiful tail and then jump in the pool.
I've had an awkward moment holding a tail while talking to cops, and an HOA associate, when my car was about to be towed. We were meeting at an apartment complex with a pool, for a mer-meet. I was staying at my friend's house that night, and she was at work that night, so she wanted me to take her tail back to her place... I bet the cop was thinking, "what the hell is this girl holding? It looks kind of fishy to me." Lol :-p
That awkward moment when your mother looks over your shoulder while you're reading about sex toy cleaner [to clean tails], and she describes what she thinks the whole situation of going to an adult store and requesting sex toy cleaner in bulk would be like:doh:
I wish the forum had 'thanks' or 'like' buttons- that made me chuckle, and I needed that. :DQuote:

Hahaha... I so know what you mean! At Weeki Wachee ... during shows, we fed the fish! We took our masks off and smiled pretty for the audience while the voracious fishies (Brem) would have their lunch. The fish knew from the music in the show, when fish feeding time came, and they came out of every nook and crannie for the feast! Before the show, we'd roll white bread into wax paper tubes (about 2-3 inches long), to hold and use our thumb to flick the soaked bread into pieces. Even turtles came for the taking! And you know how blurry looking at anything underwater is! Some of the fishies didn't know when the feast was over and they would nip you! That wasn't fun. But it was common the fish would swim into your face, and it does scare you momentarily... we didn't have the luxery of leaving... so we endured! Thanks for bringing it up... fond memories!Quote:

That is adorable. <3 I love the idea of sleey fish hanging out in nooks and crannies and then the sudden awakening of "Lunchtime!"
Awkward mermaid moment: walking by the wetsuit repair place and seeing a tail through the window, on the counter waiting for something, and when you lift your child so she can see and people look at you funny because they simply DO NOT get it.
That moment you can't get out of your tail because there is a knot in the string that keeps your tail close around your middle. Luckily one of the pool staff was able to get the knot out. My bro, who was with me, had to laugh about it "a stranded mermaid"
I guess I'm lucky then, my Husband is totally on board with my love of all things mythical and supernatural. We always say that he's a werewolf and I'm a vampire and our children will be unstoppable hybrids lolQuote:

YES!! I am a very busty Mer and trying to find bathing suit tops that fit me is torture! I would probably have more fun trying to poke my eye out with a spork! My husband does not want me to wear a shell bra when I start mermaiding for events because of that fact lol so i'll probably go with a silicone merbellas seaweed top or something similar :)Quote:

That awkward moment when it's a beautiful day, you want to go swimming, but you're too chicken to go by yourself with your fin to the community pool. :(
