Awkward (but awesome) moment when you are explaining to someone you just met that you are a mermaid and they won't believe you, but then everyone around you starts telling them "No she's serious . . . we aren't kidding, she has a tail"

I can relate
That moment when you drop your school books and your tail designs scatter everywhere for the entire class to see . . .
What's also awkward is when the people around you start making fun of it (or they where joking . . . I can't tell)
Depending on the nature of the joke (such as their asking if you are a real mermaid, saying your secret is out, speaking of your fishy friends, etc.) one way to reverse it is to receive the jokes with concerned seriousness, as though their suggestions are all true. Their reactions should be worthy of a laugh, and if they think you're crazy, the joke's on them!
(It is sort of like the person who enters a building full of people they don't know and asks, "What year is it?"
When the person receives an answer, s/he shouts (in their best Dr. Emmett Brown from Back to the Future impression), "It worked!" Then s/he runs away, leaving the former audience to wonder what just happened.
(Bonus points to the person if s/he is dressed outlandishly or in period attire (perhaps a la H.G. Wells' Time Traveler from the Victorian era))
(Quadruple bonus points if two people do it, with one dressed as Dr. Who, and only his companion acts amazed)

TAMW after one has banged her fluke, and is holding it close and checking for bruises and bleeding.
TAMW one realizes what one is doing and is so embarrassed, and ducks underwater, hoping no one saw...

If you do, do let me know how it goes, Talia!
Jaffa, that is adorable, and you now remind me of Syrena in that scene from PotC: On Stranger Tides in which her tail is stabbed by Finnick Odair....

Blergh! I'm not adorable!!
TAMW one has watched the video of herself several times and realised orange is not her color!

That awkward moment when youre out to dinner with your friends (they all know you as a mermaid, which was totally fine, thus they always call you a mermaid) when the waitress serving you suddenly directs her attention at you (and only you) and nonchalantly says, "Mermaid, right?"
o-o she heard our whole mermaid conversation.
The SeaGlass Siren
There is always that middle barrier thing in the pool. And they had it set up for water polo...
I had water droplets on my goggles so I couldn't see what expression the lifeguard had, only that his face was directed at me!
TAMW one can't be bothered taking off her fin to walk the three steps to the deep end of the pool.
TAMW one is butt scooting to the deep end and the on duty lifeguard is staring...
TAMW one is openly giggling as she butt scoots!

TAMW I'm with my friends and this lady that I kinda know shows up late. I've got my new seashell bra on under my button up. My friend D says "show Tasha your boobs" so I do. I say "look! They're squishy!" Tasha, not seeming to notice that there's GIANT PURPLE SHELLS ON MY TITS proceeds to reach in my bra, squeeze my actual tit and say "did you get new ones?"

CoyoteWalker, that's hilarious and mainly so because it didn't happen to me. XD

TAMW you realize you went from seriously hydrophobic (I would have nothing to do with the water until I was nearly 10.) To "I wanna be a mermaid!" in only four years. Funny how things work out sometimes isn't it?
TAMW one surfaces to a little girl shout, "THERE SHE IS!!!"
TAMW her Dad says equally loud, "LOOK! SHE'S WEARING BLINKERS!"
YAMW one wants to scream, "They... are.. not... BLINKERS!!!"
For mers that don't know, blinkers are what you put on a horse when they are on the road, so they don't get distracted by the traffic.

TAMW you think it would be cute to go down the baby slide... and your full size mermaid butt gets stuck 'cause these hips don't lie.
Oh been there so many times, "follow me down mum!"
this is why I only go down the wide baby slides.
Take the wave now and know that you're freeTurn your back on the land face the seaFace the wind now so wild and so strongWhen you think of meWave to me and send me a song
TAMW you're walking to class, and a guy asks to see your back tattoo (which the top part was peeking out a bit above my shirt) and when you say you can't see it well because of your shirt HE PULLS DOWN THE BACK OF YOUR SHIRT WITHOUT PERMISSION TO SEE IT BETTER. Oh god I about slapped him across the face!!
TAMW after you're done working at a renaissance Faire you get dressed into mermaid - themed costume (flowy skirt, fish netting tied around waist, and seaweed top) and a guy checks you out from behind, walks ahead of you then turns around and eyes up up and down, nods and winks at you WHILE YOU'RE NEXT TO YOUR DAD

TAMW you are doing a video shoot for a friend who has no idea about mermaid tails and whatnot and before you can explain, she tries to pick you up to put you in your spot. Then you have to explain that you are now 25lbs heavier than you just were because of the tail.
TAMW you ask them to help move your fluke and you realize that not everyone knows what a fluke is. 'What is that?' 'the end of my tail' 'Oh, is THAT what it's called?'
