Ok, so I don’t know what happened to me tonight, but it began and ended with a string of very awkward events. Each one perpetuated by yours truly. I mean, not that I’m not normally awkward, but tonight, I hit the pinnacle of awkwardness. Have I used the word awkward enough yet?
Act 1: The Valet Guys
I pull up at the party I was going to, and for some CRAZY reason, I decide to valet park. I never valet because I think it’s a waste of money. Anyway, the valet guy comes up and I get out of the car without putting it in park. I have to jump back in to stop the car from running into the parked car in front of it. I tell said valet guy that I know he’s going to talk about me and make fun of me after I’m gone.
Act 2: The Party
This party was a benefit for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (which my nephew has). It was at an art gallery. There was a painting [explicit] there that I decided to keep pointing out until I finally got the hint that people did not want to talk about this painting. Awkward.
Act 3: The Valet Guys Again
So Amanda Blake and I decide it’s time to leave. I give the valet guy my ticket and a few minutes later he pulls up with my car. I hand him my two-dollar tip, but oops, I forgot something inside, so I run back in. When I return, he says, “Um, you just gave me this.” He hands me the PERUVIAN money I had accidentally pulled out of my purse to give him. But wait, Act 3 is not over. I get into the car and then run over the little orange cone. Now I KNOW they talked about me after that.
Act 3: Deanna’s Birthday Party (I promise I’m not usually this popular)
So I arrive at her party and see my dear friend Kali holding a baby (not her baby). I walk over to her and tell her (laughing as if this is hilarious) that I thought for a second that she had brought her dog to the party. (She brings her little doggie around with her a lot) Ha ha. How funny! Yes, Mom and Dad of precious baby are standing there. Did I just say their baby looks like a dog? Of course not, because their little baby is adorable. But, of course, I have to say the FIRST thing that pops into my head.
And the night ended with a group of us laughing at the hilarious pictures on www.awkwardfamilyphotos.com. I mean, what better way to end an awkward night?
Hilarious, Kate. Love it!
