I wasn't planning on blogging about my embarrassing experience......
.... but I've decided if 10 of you will bear your souls and share your most embarrassing experience, then I will share what happened with the world wide web.
If not, it will remain a secret between me and the other 15 people in the room.
You can leave it in the comments or you can put it on your blog and leave a link the comments. 10 or no. Deal?

MIDDLE SCHOOL
I was standing in front of the class wearing Umbros (I wore them every day, I thought they were so cool) and one really mean guy came up and pantsed me - he pulled my shorts down to my ankles... So, in my full sixth grade glory (and my awesome granny panties) I had to pull my pants back up while everyone is laughing and pointing in typical middle-school style....
That's my most embarassing moment... it was rough and quite scaring... MIDDLE SCHOOL!
Oh Andrea. I am red in the face just thinking about yours. :)
Alright here's mine. The sad thing is it happened just last year. haha! I was pregnant, in a Paris subway, and nauseous. Luckily, I took your advice and had an airsickness bag with me, because all of a sudden, I just had to puke. Except it wasn't just puking...I peed all over myself too!! And I was going with my family to the Palace of Versailles, so I had to spend all day in pee pants. There I was at one of the most extravagant places on earth, with puke breath and pee pants. (It happened again in the handicap bathroom, btw) That was when I started taking the anti-nausea meds.
A group of 12th grade girls get together for a sleep over. We decide to go out in one car (all eight of us). We get pulled over probably because the trunk is tied down with a plastic bag because there are "For Sale" signs stuffed in it (you can come to your own conclusions what that was for). The policeman gets out of the car and stops at the back and shines his flashlight in before approaching me, the driver. I immediately begin worrying that he thinks I have a weapon. I promptly stick my hands out the window and yell, "No weapons, no weapons!" No, I still have not lived that moment down. I think the cop let us go because he was laughing so hard.
The summer before I left for college, I made my first-ever by-myslef trip to another city to visit friends from camp. My two friends, who happened to be guys, and I went to play putt putt one night. Because I suck at putt putt, I hit my ball off course. I was trying to walk up the "green" to retrieve my ball. Unfortunately, the "green" was really slick and I totally busted and fell and proceeded to slide down the green. I was laughing the whole way. My two friends just stood there, with the rest of the crowd, and pretended not to know me. They watched me and did nothing. It was very embarassing!
I keep coming back to read these. :)
Let me begin by saying I could have embarrassing moments go on for DAYS!!! The first one that comes to mind though is as follows:
In my high school Latin III class, I had to translate a Latin myth into English then read it to my classmates along with the Latin I and II classes. My story was about Iphigenia (who is best known as the daughter Agamemnon (leader of the Greek forces at Troy) had to sacrifice in order to appease Artemis.) Well, with my "reading at the top of my lungs so everyone can hear my translated glory" I say Iphavag… (feel in with an ina). I try to recover by saying the word correctly, but instead, I just say the same word s.l.o.w.e.r.....My teacher (who was my boyfriend's mother) was so tickled by my mispronunciation, that she didn’t rescue me from the riot of laughter, but laid her head down on her desk and cried from laughter along with the rest of my audience.
Oh this is so fun. I'm laughing so hard at your stories. We are halfway there! 5 more and I'll share.
This one could be considered a little R-rated (maybe PG-13). Sorry! I was a naive fifth grader in a new school. We were going over new spelling words, and the teacher randomly selected students to read out parts of the list. I had the c's. When I got to the word "condemn", I said "condom." Everyone completely lost it laughing, and I had no idea what they were laughing about because I didn't know what a condom was! The teacher kind of scolded me at first, but then she figured out I didn't have a clue what I had just said. I was embarrassed at the time b/c the class was laughing at me but was mortified when I later learned what a condom was!
I don't get embarassed that easily. Is it sad that I have to think about this? Let me rack my brain tonight and come up with an embarassing memory. I want to hear yours!
haha! These are funny!!! Keep posting - I want to hear Kelley's!
When I was in second grade we did a square dance unit in PE class. We learned the moves for about a week and then had a dance with the entire second grade at the end. I know this is hard to believe, but I was a raving nerd back in those days (I'm so far reformed now...) and by far one of the LEAST popular girls in the entire grade. Anyway, during the girls-choose-a-partner song, my friend Alicia told the gym teacher that I wanted to dance with this boy Tyler, who was possibly the most "rad" boy that 1988 had ever seen. My gym teacher then proceeded to announce over the microphone to the second grade, "Oooooooooh! LAUREN wants to dance with TYLER!" I was mortified and ran out of the gym crying. Tyler and I went all the way through 12th grade together, and I ALWAYS thought about it every time I looked at him.
haha!! These are great. I feel a small community with y'all and I don't even know most of y'all. :) Rebecca's made me laugh out loud!
If I post another one, does it count? I was reminded of one by the condemn/condom story.
In 5th grade as well, we did a game together in our class called The Minister's Cat. We all sat in a circle, and the first person started with an "a" adjective, the second a "b", etc. So it was "the minister's cat is an angry cat,"... "the minister's cat is bouncy cat." Well it got to me on letter H, and I thought of horns, so I said, "the minister's cat is a horny cat." Several of the kids, and the teacher (who used to be a nun!) busted out in laughter, and I was like, "What?" My little innocent mind had no clue. Let me say, I was filled in pretty quickly.
Can I do another one, too? All this risque' talk made me think of one of my WORST - so bad that I'd blocked it from memory until now. So, I have a brother who is two years older than me and who considered torturing me among his top three favorite things to do. When I was in the 6th grade, he taught me the word "b--tard," telling me it meant "bread with seeds in it." Wanting to sound highly intellectual, I used my new word as soon as possible. At the dinner table. In front of my super-proper grandparents who did NOT find my language very amusing.
Lauren - at least you didn't yell a synonym for donkey in front of Jill's grandparents.... I blame you entirely for that. Bad description. What was the real answer anyway? I can't remember.
Merritt- I think the answer was MULE. You need to share the rest of the story for the people who weren't present. That is a good one.
LP - if it makes you feel better, your brother was probably more ill-informed than malicious. I think the word batard (no s) really IS a kind of bread. It is at our whole foods, anyway.
Kel - I really don't have a truly mortifying experience. Can I share a couple of mildly embarassing things, or things that I SHOULD be embarassed about, to count for my soul-bearing?
1.) I peed a little on my ob during an exam in the last weeks of my pregnancy.
2.) My dad came home to Mark and me "making out" (it was a little worse than that, but I think a euphemism here is appropriate) one time in college.
3.) I threw up once at work when I saw a bunch of spiders and it really grossed me out.
4.) In college, after a christmas parade, I fell into a bush, while tied to four other people (a la reindeers) WHILE WEARING A HUGE DRUM, ANTLERS, and BLINKING CHRISTMAS LIGHTS and we had to wait around for someone to come untie us and get me out of the bush (the drum was holding me down).
5.) can I play the met-my-husband-at-band-camp card again?
erin- I'm laughing at the thought of you in blinking Christmas lights stuck in a bush. Hilarious.
I just read all of these to my mom. We just laughed. So we have 8 people who have shared (9 people counting Merritt but she didn't really share her story just the punchline of it). Maybe I'll just email you 8 people.
I really thought Erin Lucas would have some good stories to share!!!
Ok, I feel special. I'm off my death bed so I'll try to come up with something...
When I was young (like in 4th grade maybe?) I thought "rape" meant the same thing as "murder". So, my family was in NC visiting my grandma, and she flushed her dead fish (I didn't know it was dead) down the toilet. I was hyterical. I started calling my grandma a "raper" in front of my whole family. I remember my mom almost killed me. I was humiliated when I learned what it really meant - many years later.
Okay, and apparently I was sleep-walking one night and thought I was going to the bathroom. Instead, I went into the kitchen and opened up the refridgerator. My mom caught me in time, but I will never live that one down. Luckily for me, these were only in front of my family. I can't remember any in front of large groups of strangers, but I'll let you know if I remember any.
Oh yeah, and being told I had a lisp with one of my good teaching buddies was embarassing enough too. :) Does this count as 9 AND 10?
I would have posted earlier, but I cannot remember ANY embarassing moments; I don't get embarassed easily. I had to ask my family for some help. Here is what they came up with for me:
1) One year my mom started laughing so hard on Christmas Eve that she peed in her pants. We were in a restaurant and she peed all over her seat and through the restaurant as she ran to the bathroom. When you're a teenager, ANYthing your mom does is embarassing, much less peeing in public.
2) JEU turned my lips blue from kissing me so much. We went to his house the following day and of course his mom wanted to know how in the world I got a bruise on my lips.
3) The first Christmas after JEU and I were married my mom's dog dug through the trash and pulled out a used condem (I have no clue who it could've belonged to, really) and took it to my little sister and her 4 best friends that were over visiting. My sister was furious! Maybe we should've been embarassed, but we thought it was hilarious.
Okay, that makes me #10! Fess up, Kel!
I'm a little late, but here goes.
Beautiful weekend sophomore year spent in the mountains of NC. I *heart* BE and Jill's family. The roomies and I went up for a break, which including a rousing game of Catch Phrase with Jill's family: parents, grandparents, and cousin Jonathan. Maybe some others? I dunno.
Anyway, the idea of the game is that you are to give clues for the word on your screen. You want to do so as fast as possible.
Lauren gives clues such as burro, not a horse or a cow, etc. We exhaust our choices, including donkey. I'm pretty sure she must have said something that made us (me) think we were on the right track for donkey. And what else do you call a donkey? That's right, ladies, an a**. We were all thinking it, but I was the only brave (stupid) soul to YELL the word in great excitement. Chief and Bev were probably wondering where Jill picked up the profane friend. And to top it off, I wasn't even right. The word was mule. Boo, LP.
