We were on our way to a barbeque restaurant for dinner using dad's car since dad said it's a waste of gas if we used two cars, even though there are only four of us. Oliver and I were sitting at the back of the car while mom takes the front seat beside dad. Everything was quiet and it becomes a bit awkward.
Oliver looks at me and was nodding his head sideways with an expression of “Do something". So, I decided to speak up to rid the awkward silence in the car.
Freddie: Hey mom, I wanted to tell you something. Uhm, I'm not going to college because I decided to continue working at Harmonix full-time. Isn't that great?
Mom: That's great.
Why do I feel like I just made the silence more awkward? That was a bad start to a conversation. I looked at Oliver and did the same thing he did earlier
