Awkward Turtle

Have you ever had one of those moments where you just wanted to do the awkward turtle?  If you do not know what I am referring to, please look below:

You essentially whip out the awkward turtle during an awkward moment of conversation, or just an awkward moment period.  I have been getting a lot of those lately at my new job with our "Get to Know You," activities, or just chatting in general.

People get awkward about divorces. 

How do I know?  The tone everything completely changes when you tell someone that you are divorced at 23.  They look at you with confusion, then mumble something, then say that they are sorry.  I look at them, smile, and say, "You didn't cause it.  He did."  Boy, that tends to make them shift uncomfortably.  I just find it so interesting how I am able to talk about my divorce with ease.  I mean, I don't blab it around or anything of that sort.  We were all talking about marriages and the like, and I mentioned something about mine, and people looked at me as if I was a crazy person.  They saw I didn't have a wedding ring on and asked if I was married.  I said, "No, I was, but I am divorced."  Then, they ask how old I am.  "I'm 23."  [insert awkward turtle here.]  People don't know how to handle it that I am so young and divorced already.  Heck, sometimes I wonder how I am handling it as well as I am right now.  But, well, that is what happens when you have an amazing God that I can fully depend on to help me through anything, even during one of the darkest times of my life.

No awkward turtle here.
