Ok, if this was anybody but Tova, I probably wouldn't be doing this but she is the one who tagged me so I guess I'll cough up some moments. I'll go from lame to worse I guess.
#1: My earliest memory. I was three years old. I hated dolls. I liked trucks and balls. My mom tried her best to get me to be dollified and I just wasn't cooperative. Anyway for Christmas that year she bought me a new dolly with a dollbed. She thought it would be cute if I sat on the little bed holding my doll while she snapped a picture. We still have that picture and probably the reason I remember it. I cried the whole time. Even at three I was sooo embarrased.
#2: I was in 7th grade and it was my birthday. During gym class some bozo decided to hide my pants just because it was my birthday so when the bell rang I had no choice but to show up for math class in shorts. Well my birthday is in December. I slid into my seat totally mortified (it's not like today when anything goes) and somebody asked me what I was doing in this get up. When I whispered back, I got detention for talking in class. Since there were no late buses then. I had to walk over 3 miles home in the snow in shorts. Not a great birthday,
#3: Now this is bad. I was about seven. I stole candy from the corner store. The owner caught me and told me never to come back again. Well I figured when time passed he'd forget what I looked like. Remember how time went sooooo slow when you were young? Well I must not have waited that long and I went back figuring it was a long time (maybe my hair grew) and this time I put money down on the counter showing my good intentions. Well he did remember me and yelled at me to get out of his store. I was so embarrased I fled leaving my money on the counter. I never went back after that.
#4: I was in HS and I smartmouthed my Dad. He was a stern disciplinarian and I should have known better. He was in the LR and I was in the kitchen. He said..."come in here." I said, "if you want to talk to me you should come in here." Oooops. He got up, pulled me by the hair all the way into the LR in front of all. Now that was ugly.
#5: This happened this winter. I still can't believe I did this. I was at work and told to expect a guy named Dick (Smith). I was to type a check for him and have it ready. He was a RE agent and I was familiar with his name but not his face. I put the check with his name on it and left it on my desk awaiting his arrival. A few hours went by and a gentleman showed up. He was smartly dressed with a tie and nice overcoat and I assumed it was Dick. I asked him if he was Dick and he said he was and I said........., before I even thought about it.............."Well you look like a Dick." OMG did I say that? He smiled as he took the check. I almost died. I couldn't retell that story for months without laughing so hard. I told his boss and he laughed so hard he had to sit down.
It was ugly.
I don't know who's been tagged or not at this point so I'm going for the guys. How about Dude man, Baker and Gid? Tag you guys and blame Tova. She made me do it.
