That Awkward Moment When: Mermaid Edtion!

[PearlieMae]

It's probably pretty common among us all, but TAMW when you think you are a gorgeous, graceful, one-with-the-water, mythical creature and someone tells you that you have a giant, white, waterlogged booger on your cheek by your nose.

I have a good one and it happened this morning.

That awkward moment when you're meeting a photographer at his place/studio to discuss ideas about a merman photoshoot and you're feeling like "wait, this is déjà-vu. I have been here before." He also got a familiar feeling. Turns out he was a booty call from 2-3 years ago! We both have been Facebook friends since more than a year and we completely forgot about it. We both thought the coincidence was actually hilarious. It is a small world lol.

That awkward moment when you leave the same photographer and then you receive a text from him saying that he was happy to have met me again and that I was still very nice and handsome. He left a wink emoji at the end of the text. Methinks it's gonna be tricky to keep things professional.

Tamw you are cleaning your tail and it's finished drying from overnight when the repair guy comes to fix outstanding work inside the master ensuite where your tail is left exposed. An he asks you "are you a mermaid? Nice tail" and he was an old Chinese dude we've been working with too.

That awkward moment when you're trying on your tail and your mobile rings from across the room...

OMG Pearlie!!!! That's such a bone-kill !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tamw your brother in laws wife and her aunt go upstairs to change their kids diaper and you tell to them "don't freak out if you see a mermaid tail in the ensuite"
the aunt goes "whu??" Your brother in law then goes "it's mermaid taxidermy season!"
And then they freak out because they see your huge AF tail in the ensuite. "Oh my god it's huge!"
then the husband does the explaining for you "you can swim in it too"
then auntie and bils wife exclaim loudly "you can SWIM in it????"

LOL, mermaid taxidermy season I know my grandma's would pass out if I said that

TAMW you're working a big event with other volunteers, and once the events over you take off your tail and put it in your wheelchair walking out with it, and one of the volunteers sees you. Eyes wide he exclaims "You can walk?!" And then he realizes the only reason you were in a wheelchair was because you had a tail on...

He actually thought I couldn't walk😂

[Celaeno]

That's really funny, Sirenia! Poor guy...

That awkward moment when you embarrass your friend in the craft store because you put a lions paw shell against your chest to see if it would fit. :P

[Naufra]

I think we've all done that, Koi. ^_^ I did it while shopping with my sister, and I stood there holding them up and asked her if she thought they would fit. Without batting an eyelash, she just said "No." and went to look at paintbrushes. My sister is the best. XD

[Mermaid Wesley]

That awkward moment when you make a list of what you have left to do on your tail and it's TERRIFYING! This is the life

That awkward moment when you stay up late to watch a movie called Mermaids starring Cher.... only to realize its not about what you thought it was about. Happened to me as a child. Still pisses me off :P

[Mermaid Jaffa]

TAMW one tries on a size 12 swim bra and its too big!!!
TAMW one get the size 10, and its too small!!!
TAMW one has to explain to the shop girl, "I'll just get the pants. They fit perfect!"

[peripheral mermaid]

TAMW You're really excited and waiting impatiently for your tail to arrive but you don't have a pool so you don't know when you will get to actually swim in it....
and you're way too scared/self-conscious to go to a public pool

[Mermaid Cherish]

TAMW you very briefly consider leaving your s/o at work just so you can swim a little longer. (He doesn't really need a car; he can walk, right? :P Never mind it takes 10-15 between his job now and home by car.)

I got one chance to swim in the pool before they closed for cleaning season (1 week). Ahh! Starting today, though, I'm swimming nearly, if not every, day to become a stronger swimmer and mermaid. *squeal of delight* I had a lot of fun today and I worked hard!

[Mermaid Wesley]

That awkward moment when I try my fiverglass fin for the first time and nearly collide with the only non mer in the pool. Sorry, stranger! It was faster than I expected!
