my awkward family story
"One day when I was about 14, my dad and I went to get our pictures taken for the church directory. We were called into a room and the photographer arranged us for the shot, my dad sitting on one stool and me sitting on another positioned between his legs. I thought this was a little awkward, but it was only a headshot and I assumed the photographer knew what he was doing. So we go in the next room to give them our information and the lady asks "So, I will list this as Mr. and Mrs. Butsch, correct?" to which I said, "Umm, no, gross. He's my dad." She then explained, "Oh, I'm sorry. It’s just that in your photo you’re positioned like our married couples." Grrrreat. A month later the church directory comes out and every other father & daughter shot has them sitting shoulder to shoulder, and then there's me . . . sitting between my dad's legs. Awkward."

meetup.com = awkward
so, i follow several local groups on www.meetup.com for my work like raw & vegan groups, beer & wine groups, healthy moms, etc. well, the main organizers of these groups often send out mass emails to all the members telling them about an upcoming event, a reminder, etc. then silly members write back personal messages to the organizers not realizing they too are sending a mass email to ALL of the members. here's one i got copied on today:
"BG.......Please see attached as we discussed over the phone. Take care......love......ybb and PLEASE have yourself a day where depression gets replaced with happiness. You have SO MUCH to not only look forward to, but to appreciate now........but u know that. Love always......daniel"
i'm sure "BG" appreciates daniel telling everyone he's depressed. awkward.
