I find that in life I often find myself in awkward situations. Depending on how unprepared I am, finding a comeback is often difficult. I absolutely hate when after everyone has left I finally come up with the perfect response. Then I find myself practicing what I should have said over and over in my mind. Even though I know darn well the likelihood of a similar situation coming up and me being able to use the clever phrase will never happen.
So I have decided to leave a few of my best “things to say in awkward moments”
1. The nurse asking you when you last had sex in front of your dad moment
-start crying
2. Your student telling you that you look way too innocent to be pregnant moment
– Smile, ignore, and pretend it never happened
3. The someone says something crazy political thinking you agree moment
-Doesn’t that just show how amazing it is that God loves everyone?
4. The something is so stupid it takes your breath away moment
– you know I never thought of it that way
5. The someone says something hurtful moment
-I know you may not have meant that to be disrespectful, but I would appreciate it if you would not talk to me in that manner.
Always remember a poker face is key in all responses. One must fully commit and never look back.
– yes these have all happened to me-

Awesome as always!
Thanks 🙂 🙂
Love this post. I shall have to work on maintaining a poker face.
i think there is a song about a poker face. 🙂
I almost quoted Lady Gaga.
As soon as I read it the song played in my mind haha
Aweome and true! I’ve had most of those happen
What would life be without awkward moments
I’ve always gotten a lot of mileage out of pretending I didn’t hear it. A lot of people think I’m deaf. 🙂
I silent stare works wonders
And my personal favorite, “With all due respect…I really have nothing to say to you!”
I love that one ! and thanks for the love.
BTW..Love your blog!
I am the same way..I have the perfect comeback with everything that’s ever happened…which means I’ll never get to use it…
I have a really great comeback for this mean boy in highschool just waiting to be used
Wrote these things down on my hand for when the right moment(s) strike.
good idea !
I think we are sisters and were separated at a very young age….
maybe we were 😉
so…… when people say to me..i never thought of it that way………??oh no!!!!!you have ruined my life……
Oh don’t say that. It doesn’t always mean that 🙂

My problem is my face always gives me a way. It is way too expressive! Good for you for making your life slightly less awkward through the use of a poker face 🙂
I wish I had a better poker face still 🙂

You commented on my blog. I have never heard of your class or blog. I do not know what you are talking about???
Yes – a poker face is best for most situations. You can never go too wrong when you are silent and not only that you don’t have to try to pull out that stinky foot from your mouth and have more teeth to show when you smile.
Silence is golden
I know what you mean… I’m always having those awkward moments where I loose my words til the moment passes. I love the “you know, I never thought it of it that way” lol

The #4 response was helpful. Usually I just snort, furl my brow and look at them like they’re crazy. I’m terrible at a poker face, I must practice! Your response is probably a lot more appropriate. 😉
I must admit I am not as smooth in real life as I am on this blog 😉
amazing blog and posts…..all i can say is wow……i totally relate to it.
