Yes. That is my topic. It's one of my favorite words! To me, (an extremely awkward guy) the word "awkward" means a bunch of different things that vary in every situation. It can mean uncomfortable, embarrassing, weird, silence, or my personal favorite, when someone gets totally owned... (best read in a high-pitched voice) Awkward!
You've probably been in an awkward moment before. I imagine that everyone has. Soooo assuming that you (the reader) have experienced awkwardness before and understand what it's like, I want to share some of my favorite awkward moments with you...

The babysitter... and her husband |

Here's another awkward moment.. When you're sitting at a table at ihop with Andy Chrisman (my role model) and his daughter, and he says, "Here's a seat. Just scoot on in here. Real close. Closer. Cloooossser..." And the sticks his arm around you and says, "That's better. Are you comfortable?" I reply "suuuure..." and he comes back with, "Good. You better get used to it! We're a close family..." *awkward!*
Or when you're talking to someone and they keep staring at your pants, which are screaming, "Hey! I'm unzipped!"
