I definitely could have used my own Awkward Avoidance Viking today. Here's the story:
The Phil played the overture/dream pantomime of an opera tonight ( =awesome. Hansel and Gretel). Afterwards, I saw my friend Gerrit's parents and said hello. They asked:
"How was the opera?"
I responded with, "My lips are KILLING ME! But it was fun. I'm excited to do it again!" (etc). I didn't get why they seemed confused by that, so I kept talking for a while awkwardly until I said goodbye and walked away in shame. My brother later asked me: "How was the Opera last night with Gerrit?"
IT HIT ME LIKE A HILARIOUS TON OF BRICKS.
Gerrit's parents were asking about the night I had with Gerrit at the Opera!!!! And I responded with: "my lips are killing me..." No wonder they were horrified... I laughed myself to tears. But don't despair, I found them again and explained my seemingly inappropriate comments. Luckily they are super cool and we all laughed about it before parting in non-awkward understanding. How does this even happen?
Awkwardness and ridiculousness must stalk me.
