While the origins of this holiday are lost to time, it’s probably not a coincidence that today is celebrated the day after St Patrick’s Day- a well known drinking holiday. It’s Awkward Moments Day.
Alas, almost every day in my world is Awkward Moments Day. My mouth has a bad habit of not checking in with my brain before it starts talking. I’m also told that I come up with questions/ points of view that no one else has ever thought of. I don’t TRY to go these things- I’m just naturally good at these kinds of things.
So, whether you come by your awkward moments naturally like I do, or if it takes a night of heavy drinking to bring out your awkward side, today is the day to commemorate these “happy” events. So have a sense of humor about it- unless you are too hung over!
