That awkward moment when you are discussing the tail you are making with a friend at work and one of the cool dental nurses asks "so, what are you making a mermaid costume for?"
And that awkward moment when you answer "to swim in it." And she looks at you in horror like your going to drown.... in front of her.
That awkward moment when you realize how big your fluke is actually going to be when it's done.
It's not the size of your fluke that matters... it's how you use it. ;)Quote:

That awkward moment when you come back from the craft store and have this conversation:
Me, talking to my husband: Oooh! Oh!!! Look at the awesome seaweed I found at JoAnns!!! *shows him fake plant bunches*
Husband: ...... ....O...k. ..It looks like seaweed.
Me: Well YEAH! But it's AWESOME seaweed! *waves plants around enthusiastically smiling and bouncing* It's super cool!
Him: You and I have a different opinion of what's "cool".
Me: You just don't understand my mermaid ways! *now acting dramatic* You don't understand them at ALL!
Husband walks away, and I secretly drop my head and am sad that he didn't think the seaweed was as cool as I thought it was.
Lmao. I know what you mean.Quote:

Hey! I have been looking for fake seaweed for awhile, now! I want to drape netting on the ceiling of an unfinished room and put seaweed and plastic sea critters in it.Quote:

And the people walking by... haha, I could almost feel their, "Huh?"
I didn't finish my thought out loud, lol. Let 'em think what they want, I was picturing it with tiny shells and faux sea stars and made up as part of a mermaidy top. I didn't buy it though... it didn't feel like it would hold up to anything. But at $1 I might get it another time and test it out.
That awesome... I mean, awkward, moment, when you outswim your cousins in their own pool, even though you have to go to the gym to swim yourself (and you've been slacking off)... and when your cousin tells you that your feet look like rubber as they kick through the water.
Also, Winged Mermaid, I agree, fake seaweed and costume parts are fun and awesome, and it's frustrating when the other person can't see it they way you can :(
Yeah, I was thinking how awkward isn't always the word here...
That awkward moment when you discover that somehow, someway, you are the cause of Altoids being curiously strong.

the awkward (and quite adorable) moment when your five year old brother tells you he wants a tail.

Almost ashamed to say it, but this is my awkward moment
The moment your bf wonders how sex would be with a mermaid and thought it intresting if I would adapt my tail to do that... I stared blankly at him for a long time...

Perhaps if you enlighten him as to the mating habits of the argonaut or anglerfish, he might think twice about tangling with a sea critter.Quote:

Erk... Maybe I didn't want to know that either...
LOL! You could always tell him about parthenogenesis, instead.Quote:

Sounds better, though I'm sure my bf doesn't like that idea :P
i told him to keep his idea in his dreams, I'm not going to change my tail
When I had a Twitter just for sea related stuff, I got the best notification. It said, "Hectocotylus would like to follow you." Seems there is a user named Hectocotylus. What an image that conjured up.Quote:

And because it's 12:24am here, that is the oddest thing I've written today.
Oh- the awkward moment your mom is regaling you with all the interesting new mermaid people out there that were on the news, "It's a whole club!", and you realize she doesn't realize how far your mer love goes.
that awkward moment when I try to explain to guests why there is my little pony and mermaid things all over our house...... I don't know which confuses them more, my obsession with being a mermaid or my son being a brony.......I won't lie..... the glow in the dark Pinkie Pie is mine. Haters gonna hate. Love and tolerate.
I've seen a couple of awkward Facebook related things on here, but not this one which has happened to me lately:
*That awkward moment when the "People You May Know" sidebar on Facebook has magically turned from high school people you never wanted to speak to again anyway to all merpeople*
Nope, I take that back...not awkward, but awesome!!
That awkward moment when two kids you babysit see you swimming in your tail, then try to throw water at you next time you babysit them.
Haha! That's hilarous, bellaskonieczny.
That awkward moment when you have a "photo-bomber"

That awkward moment when you realize having sex with your boyfriend in your mermaid tail is impossible because merfolk don't have genitalia. :/Quote:

That awkward moment when your best mer-friends won't swim with their tails in public. -__-
That awkward moment when you like to many mermaid related things on Facebook and you say something to a person you know
"Hey did you see that thing on facebook..."
and they try to finish for you by saying
"With all the mermaids??" -_-
That really awkward moment when your on your regular (non-mermaid) facebook page, and you like something mermaid-related, only to remember your on the other profile, and most of your friends don't know about your (lifelong interests) with mermaids (yet)...
Haha! It seems like a lot of awkward moments are created by facebook!
That awkward moment when you just start talking about mer-related things with your mother and it takes her a moment to realize what you are talking about SO she's designated a hand signal for you to use before talking about mermaid stuff XD
The awkward moment when you tell someone wearing "Don't move, I'll be right back."
