April challenge
Day 10 - Describe your most embarrasing moment.
I hate today's topic. Mostly because a lot of really embarrassing things have happened to me throughout my life, but I can never remember them when I'm supposed to tell an embarrassing story. They always pop into my head at times when they're not really needed. Also, I don't like when someone asks for the most embarrassing moment. I mean really, how can you really classify that anyway? All embarrassing moments are embarrassing. For me there's not really one that trumps the others. They're all situations I wish hadn't happened to me.
OK, well this is one that just came to mind so for now let's say it's my most embarrassing. One day a few summers ago my family went boating. We spent a great day on two lakes that are linked through a small channel and did some water skiing and tubing. Toward evening we pulled the boat up to the loading area and started preparing our boat to be pulled out of the water and taken home. I unzipped my life jacket, which I had still been wearing since my last tube ride, and my younger sister stared at me with her mouth hanging wide open. I looked down and realized my swimsuit top was, umm, not quite covering all of the top it was supposed to be, probably pulled out of line from the rambunctious tube ride. In a flash I had the life jacket closed and rearranged my wardrobe before attempting to take it off again. It wouldn't have been THAT bad had there not been a mother and daughter on the shore looking in what seemed to be my direction at the time. Thank goodness the father of that group had been in the water worrying about his boat and not on the shore with the other two! Yeah, it was kind of embarrassing, but at least the people on shore weren't people I knew and therefore I figured I'd never see them again in my life. They might have got a show, but I hope they've forgotten all about it by now.
I always think of my poor little girl in grade 3 just before she got the chicken pox.
ReplyDeleteEmbarrassing moments become funny memories often, later, much later, right.
Oh yeah, THAT one. Haha, I think I'm glad I decided on the one I wrote up... :P You're right, they are funny later, but I'd still prefer they didn't have to happen at all.
ReplyDeleteI can't think of any of my embarrassing moments that are funny now . . . yep, still embarrassed.
DeleteYeah, I think perhaps I have too much pride, so yeah . . . I'm not planning to share any embarrassing moments. They all make me feel angry and small.
ReplyDeleteBut I am glad you had the courage to share one.
My father accidentally took his young sons to a nudist beach in Wisconsin once.
ReplyDeleteSo don't feel bad.
