Nothin’ embarrasses me anymore…

Most embarrassing moment as an introduction – that’s a way to get past all the masks…

As a new teacher I was attending the new hire seminar the week before school began. I’m a shortie so I tend to move to the front an auditorium so I can see, which usually puts me last in line at the restrooms. Coming in late after the long break – lots of new hires and mostly women – I pranced down to the front table to take my spot, being the last one to get settled. Remembering the rules from charm school…I went to tuck my skirt before I sat…and…nothing was there!!!

Somehow my skirt had been caught in my pantyhose – I had “mooned” the whole auditorium!!

When I was working for a dealer, I had many keys that were alike and I just bought my first evergreen Focus. I loved it. Well our secretary copied me only 2 weeks later. Well, one day, both of us left our keys out and we BOTH drove the wrong cars home. I should have figured it out, but I didn’t until I was pulled over for a “not wearing my seatbelt” ticket was given, and the registration was just… let’s say different… the CHP said can you
“plain” me maam?? Nope… a definate ugh moment!!!

Mine would have to be when I was a sixth grader in California. One Friday night my brothers Joel, Jason, Jeremy and I decided to draw faces on our upper torsos. We used a permanent markerto convert our nipples into eyes, our navels as noses, and a long black smile just under our navels. No big deal right? In the privacy of our home, except that Joel and I went to bed without washing the very prominent creations off our chests.

Next morning we had Little Emps basketball games at the high school. Turns out our team was instructed to go skins. Yep, you got it, 25 years later it seems like a small mulitude was bellowing laughs at the two middle schoolers with faces on their chests. I won’t soon forget that embarassing moment!!
