creating awkward moments is my specialty
Today at work, a student came in and asked for change for her five, including two dollars worth of quarters. Only having three quarters in my tray, I walked around Crystal to reach her drawer. "I'm going to grab some change real quick," I said as I slowly pulled the drawer out so as not to bump her. She leaned sideways uncomfortably to give me room. "Sorry, but I'll try not to hit your baby." She freezed, then turned to the guy she was helping (the one who never smiles and always seems rushed to get out of our office) and quickly explained, "Oh no - I'm not pregnant! Anna's just weird." He waited a beat, just staring at the two of us. Then his face relaxed and he cracked up. He walked away, folding his bills into his wallet and chuckling down the hall.
