Embarrassing moments...
Have just read Gill's blog about embarrassing situations...
This is odd, as her conversation with her mike is very very similar to my conversation with my mike as pillow talk the other night too...we are morphing I think.
Our conversation was very similar:
Ali: What's your most embarrassing moment?
Mike: You know this, I've told you.
Ali: well I don't remember, tell me again!
Mike: No
Ali: yes
I forced it out of him in the end, and I have to say, it was more horrible than embarrassing. He then asked what mine was.
Ali: Oh god (rolling my eyes) it has to have been when I was about 9 or 10, and we were waiting outside M&S for my mum to finish work one evening. It was the summer, and hot, and I was wearing a dress. I don't know if you remember the game 'leap frog' but I decided, with my younger sister, to while the time in the side street next to the store, to play this game over the bollards lining the street.
This was not such a good idea as I found out 3 seconds later when my dress caught on the bollard and I was left hanging upside down on the bollard, feet waving in the air, knickers in full view and my dad sat in the car wetting himself laughing! I was helpless and my father decided not to help me at all, neither did my sister. I stayed like this for what must have been nearly 5 minutes although it felt like an hour, you'd think now is the time my father comes to rescue me, but no, it took a passing old lady to stop and say "do you need any help dear?" to which I muttered a reply and graciously accepted, scuttling back to the car as quick as I could after!
Mike: oh yeah! That is quite funny!
Ali: Thanks!
It just made me think even more of today's embarrassing moment. Gill gets about 5 a day- and i'm not referring to daily fruit and veg intake- i can so relate to this. Take today for instance:
In a lecture I decide to open up my lucozade drink, unfortnately for me, it had got somewhat shaken up in my bag, and thus covered everything quite spectacularly within a few feet, including me, the chair and other people (nearly the tutor)! The room erupted with laughter, mostly at the tutors face of disbelief, and to make matters worse I apologised with the legendary words of "er, sorry everyone, I appear to have had an explosion!"
Result- more laughter and a few tears...of laughter! I scuttled out of the room which in retrospect of those words was perhaps not such a good idea with the words of Arnie "I'll be back!" and ran to the toilet emerging later with hand towels, bursting back into the room with much more apologising and mopping up of my 'explosion'!
I feel Gill's pain, and my conclusion is, that some of us in this life are just destined to have more embarrassing moments than others!
