The In-Laws
July 22nd, 2009
One day when my mother-in-law was visiting, we decided to watch a video of my daughter hunting Easter eggs. The egg hunt had been held at my parents’ house, so my mother-in-law had missed it. When the hunt was over, the video suddenly changed to show me sitting at my parents’ table talking. My mother-in-law and I watched as I turned to the camera and said, “Stop taping me!” My husband, from behind the camera, said, “Why?” Without missing a beat, I replied, “Because I don’t want you to tape me while I talk about your family.” Awkward.

After reading all stories on this page, “awkward” is now the most annoying word.
I love stories when you get a little “dig” on the In-Laws!
At least it wasn’t you and your husband doing something other than talking! lol!
OMG – this is truly, gutwrenchedly awkward. I am still cringing…then I am going to check my OWN videos.
I’m not one to revel the pain of someone else, but HOORAY, a fantastically AWKWARD story.
So terrible and yet so true.
I hate to be dirty, but I seriously thought this story was going somewhere else for a second…
I was thinking exactly the same thing.
me too! Haha
me too me too me too!!!
I hate to admit it, but I thought it was going that way too….
same here I thought that the daughter would say something she heard.
OUCH!!
BURN!
This one qualifies for federal awkward relief funds.
LOL!! An awkward bailout! XD
OMG that’s terrible!
This one makes me feel an actual physical pain in my stomach. So awkward and horrifying.
agreed!
I concur. This would SO happen to me. Way awkward.
And yet people like the faceplants.
I can honestly see myself forgetting this incident in 5 minutes. Now if the camera had caught you talking about Grandma’s raisin skin, that’s a different story.
Oooh rough! That is SO something that would happen to me.
Usually I think the stories are dumb, but this is a winner. Truly awkward. And funny.
I thought the same thing!
agreed on the first part of your comment
Yeah, usually they are just based around puns or slips of the tongue, but this one is TRULY awkward.
I was thinking this exactly after reading this one.
Agreed, again. I was just about to stop reading these because they are never awkward and rarely funny but this restored my faith.
