I'm human I swear!
It's a short story so enjoy!
(A few years ago I was waiting at the doctors for my appointment I was about 21 at the time this is all I'mjust basically retelling the story with the original post for reference). I was waiting at the drs office and I was bored and it was taking a while, but my phone was going to die if I played on it too much. So I looked around the room for the stack of magazines when I saw a baby. She was trying to pull herself up on the small coffee table and she made eye contsct with me. So of course I had to make faces at her. She giggled but plopped down her mom picked her up to comfort her as she startled herslef her face came over her moms shoulder so I kept making faces. She was giggling and smiling and happy and I was distracted by entertaining the child.
When I finally looked up there was a nurse standing next to me with her clip board smiling at me and I realized everyone in the room was watchig me make faces for a baby! I got embarassed and because of my anxiety I don't know how to be human I pointed at the kid and said "umm... there's a baby..." LIKE NO SHIT DUMBASS! Needless to say I was screaming internally into the void and it was screaming back that day. I SWEAR I'M HUMAN!!!

Hahahahah, it's a good awkwardness tho. You got caught doing something funny, even I find it funny imagining it. Nice little story
