awkward

This is Grace.





This is Josh and Grace.





Not Josh, as in her brother.





But Josh as in Homer, the Gomer, Grace's "X-boyfriend."





Boyfriend is a relative term, especially when you're in 7th grade.





Mostly it means making "googly" eyes at someone and an abundant amount of





texting.





Apparently a month ago or so at the Jr. High, all the 7th graders filled out a survey.





One question was: "Who is the cutest couple in 7th grade."





Well, yesterday Grace (and Josh) found out just exactly who the cutest "couple" was.





The trouble?





They are not longer "a couple."





The names of Grace Nielson and Josh Homer were called over the P.A. system in





the middle of an assembly.





Both obedient children got up and were met by the yearbook photographer.





For a picture.





For the yearbook.





A picture of the "cutest couple" in 7th grade.





They stood awkwardly together, avoiding looking at OR talking to one another.





The photographer mentioned she heard they were not "a couple" anymore.





They validated her remark.





Well, since the vote was in, photo's for the yearbook were a must anyway.





They stood as close as possible without touching.





Or looking at each other.





Or talking.





The picture was snapped.





I am not even sure they were smiling.





So, look for Grace in the Jr. High yearbook under "cutest couple".





She will be there with her "un" boyfriend.





She stated it was certainly one of the most awkward situations in her young life thus





far.





Lesson learned?





Breaking up is hard to do.





And can be overly awkward when posing for yearbooks.





Hope you had a good laugh from this story...we all did.





They ARE a pretty cute couple though....





I would've voted for them too.


*(above photo is NOT the actual photo used for the yearbook . it was taken when they were still "in love". You can tell by the smile. Grace has moved on to greener pastures. I mean come on! The boyfriend/girlfriend thing lasted like 6 weeks. Probably a new record for 7th grade.)
