so I was laying in bed next to my dh recently and started quietly reminiscing to myself about embarrassing moments, I giggled and then snorted and he said, what? and I told him about the memory, he said, oh! well you aren't the only one, we all do those things at times....but still....I seem to have so many moments that are embarrassing they all seem to be the most embarrassing at the time...
how about the time I used the word 'black' instead of 'African American' while substitute teaching, and thirty students said whoooooaaaaa! and I was embarrassed because my generation said 'black' but this generation doesn't and considers that word as bad as the n word was for my generation....I didn't substitute anymore that year because I couldn't trust myself to make another inadvertent mistake
and of course I have many of those tooter times! so funny chocolate chip, my sister had the same experience except she jumped up and ran home to do the thing and left the boy wondering what he had done wrong, and no, they didn't date after that again either
