We have all had embarrassing moments. Some are worse than others. There is usually one that really sticks out. I don’t usually get embarrassed easily, but there are a few times that I definitely remember.
My most embarrassing moment happened when I was a teenager. I was at my church for a youth activity one Saturday afternoon. Shortly after the activity started, I began to feel a little pain in my stomach. I tried to ignore it, but it slowly began to get worse.
Then we went to play kickball. It was a favorite game for us, and I was one of the better kickers. My team was depending on me. I really have no idea how long the game went on because the pain was increasing, and I knew I had to go to the bathroom.
But, my team was depending on me.
And it was almost my turn to kick. I told myself that I could hold it until my turn was over. I thought that I’d be embarrassed if I told them to skip me so I could go to the bathroom (I now know that that embarrassment would have been much better).
My turn came and I kicked the ball to the other end of the field. Two of my teammates ran home, and I landed on second base. Hunched over a little bit, I was trying to focus. The next player kicked the ball, and I knew I could make it home. I started running. I ran to third, then to home. Then I went straight to the bathroom.
Unfortunately, it was about a minute too late. Let’s just say that I lost a pair of underwear that day. Luckily, no one there ever knew about it (until they read this post).
Answer this question below: What was your most embarrassing moment?
Where do I start?
There’s the time I slid into a freezing cold river trying to impress my girlfriend. It must not have shocked her too much. She ended up marrying me over 17 years ago.
Thanks, Jon. That would be embarrassing. I wonder if there’s a law of nature to explain why guys do stupid stuff to impress girls.
