My cousins have all gone home. I had to leave to meet Jessica before they left so it was my job to go up to them and say goodbye. It was one of the most awkward experiences that I've had since Saturday (but I'll tell you all about that one later).
I walked into the room where they were playing table football and stood there in silence waiting for them to finish their game. Five minutes later, someone scored a goal and I spoke up quickly before it could go on any longer.
"I'm off now," I said, and they all froze and turned around. Silence.
"Oh ok," said my youngest cousin (I like her more, shes the youngest, early twenties I think).
"It was good to see you all."
"You too," they all said at the same time. And then more silence. I didn't really have anything else to say to them.
"Goodbye," I said, beginning to turn away but at exactly the same time my youngest cousin began to speak too. We both froze and there was this awkward silence where we were both waiting for each other to continue. I gave up in the end and ran from the room. Well... not ran, I actually just walked pretty quickly instead but it had the same effect.
But my embarrassing moment yesterday was far worse. I was hurrying to get ready for work, and in my hurry, whilst mentally checking that all of my family members were in bed, I began to change in the doorway of my bedroom. Halfway through changing, I heard a quiet creak and turned to see my brother's girlfriend creeping into the bathroom! She looked really embarrassed and I had to dive onto the floor to hide my shame. You see every other person in my house makes a lot of noise when they go up and down the stairs, so I wasn't expecting anyone to be there! Also, I didn't even know she'd stayed over. Ahh I was cringing all day because of it.
