How to forget an awkward conversation with your mother?

Question

It is actually a funny story; my mom decided to borrow my tablet. She then called me down after a while and asked if I was pregnant. The funny thing is that I simply like reading what different people have to say about many controversial topics and I like reading on how humans evolved our social and political selves, as well as just how we are in general. I like reading about human evolution and behavior, end of story. I am a virgin (16, going on 17) and single, and quite frankly after some thought, I find it kind of funny, but there is NO way I will be forgetting about this awkward conversation any time soon... I have anxiety and depression and am quitting cutting, in favor of painting. Yes my mom knows about that, so please nothing saying how stupid I am. Just some ways that I can look my mom in the face preferably tomorrow and pretend nothing happened, lol. I already told her about all of that and she says it's fine so she is over it and not worried, but I am in that awkward embarrassed stage where I kind of want to laugh and kind of want to cut and was considering painting to continue with my quitting yet here I am instead. I believe it deserves a pat on the back, lol. Just kidding. But still, any pointers on forgetting awkward situations like this?

You can be pretty sure your mom feels much more embarrassed about this conversation than you are feeling.
Moms get a bit paranoid about their teenage daughters and pregancy and she must be feeling a bit foolish right now.
Don't raise the subject again.  It is over and past and the awkwardness will be gone after the next time you see her.  If I was your mom I would actually have said how sorry I was, and that I just panicked when I saw what was on your tablet, but hey we are all different.
Don't use this as an excuse to start cutting again, even if it is tempting.  If you are managing to replace it with painting, that's absolutely great, well done.  Go off and paint a masterpiece and present it to your mom as a present.
