Go Keanu, KRM. Way more fun than forced merriment with people who make you shatteringly unhappy.
Jayne: Well... I don't like the idea of someone hearin' what I'm thinkin'. Inara: No one likes the idea of hearing what you're thinking.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
What is "evitable" - something that usually doesn't happen?
Something that you could shoehorn into an amateur production of Evita.
In this vein, from my Forgotten English calendar I offer you awk - inverted or confused. (Thus, my brother.) Thence do we derive awkward, which originally was opposed to toward.

Which is why one tends to lean backward when standing around awkward people, eh?

I'm just a little sorry it didn't wind up being wakward.

Wawkward.
I just like saying it.
Sounds like a directive from the Minitry of Silly Walks.

On a totally different subject, I need kid's book recommendations for a specific situation.
I have a client couple, two women, raising two adopted children. The kids' mother is deceased and the father is not in the picture.
The girl is 8, understands the situation and does not talk about the dad to the boy. He's 5 and getting to the place where there is some confusion about answering questions about having two moms and where is his dad, etc.
The moms are looking for books to help with the conversation.
What's good out there?

I really want to whop some sense into a 16-almost-17 year old boy right now. Yeah, the biological mother that abandoned you at a flophouse when you were 7 is really gonna contest custody in another state when she can't afford a lawyer and take your juvie-felony self on now. Don't pull this manipulative, expensive shit on the parents who've been fighting for you most of your life, even when they didn't know how bad it was.

I think teenage+ biggo issues makes more stupid.

Video of child afraid of puppets: DO NOT WANT!
I was a child afraid of puppets. (Side note: an italicized "I" looks really funny in html.) Puppets are scary! They have unreasonably large mouths which do not coincide with their speaking! They lead complicated lives which always have some sort of message. Mysterious people come out of the curtains and bow! Irrational!
Wait! Is the video of me? 'Cause that's just upsetting.
