Writing Prompt: That Awkward Moment When
Did you ever experience an awkward moment like forget somebody's name when they totally remembered yours? Or fart in the dead silence of a movie theater? Or loudly scream "Mommy!" in the mall, forgetting you now call your parent 'Mom" or sometimes cleverly by their first name? These are the moments – those awkward moments – you will laugh about later but cringe at now!! Today's Writing Prompt asks you to finish the following phrase:
Here’s one of mine to get you started. That awkward moment when in seventh grade I was talking to my crush only to realize afterwards I had a large piece of, um, something (!) stuck under my nose.
Fill in yours in the Comments below. I can't wait to read these ones! That awkward moment when . . .

That awkward moment when the teacher says "Okay, class! Put all books away!", and you continue reading your Harry Potter book because your so obsessed with it you didn't hear her. This happens to me all the time so now my teacher says " Okay, class! Please put all books away including Harry Potter!". It always works, though, because whenever I hear Harry Potter, I snap into focus:) It never fails to get my attention:)

That awkward moment when everything is all of a sudden quiet during class and your secret crush says, "When there's an awkward silence, a squirrel dies."

That awkward moment when you answer the phone and think it's your dad, so you say "Hi Daddy." and then it turns out to be a telemarketer. O_o

That awkward moment when you are out with your mom, and you see your crush, and your mom says (not very quietly) "Hey, is that the boy you like?"
