Community Activity:Your Most Embarrassing Moment

You are incredible if you can’t think of something to write for this.

So when I was like 7, me and my whole family were at the airport, ready to go to Walt Disney World. You may be thinking; “Mr. Clone, how could anything at an airport be embarrassing?” Turns out, “your baby Cousin” is the answer. I’ve been on many airplanes throughout my life, and while those metal tubes of ear-poppingness are scary, I knew the security drill. Drop big bags off, scan for metallic bad things (funny enough, It detected metal on me, but it was just the metal on my hoodie.), and the conveyor belt that scans your bags. So all of my family took my shoes and socks off as we normally would. But my baby cousin saw that we were taking stuff off, and she didn’t know that we stopped at our socks. Well then, ima have trouble typing thins with a staight face.

She took all of her clothes off and rode on the conveyer belt. And if it ended right there, it would’ve been not that bad. But, of course, it got worse. Standing in line at the other conveyor belt just happened to be my best friend. He saw this unfold and, understandably, burst into laughter. We got the whole thing sorted out and I explained everything to him. But there was good news; he was coming to Disney as well! So that sorta made up for it, but rumors spread around the playground, annnnnnnd, yeah. Not fun.

This happened pretty recently. In my Creative Writing class, we did a mythology unit. We were put in groups of three or four and had to come up with a civilization and its myths. One of those myths was a "hero myth" where you had to come up with a mythological hero and their origin story. We also had to draw a life-sized picture of our hero.

My group decided to cook up a character called "Speedoman." Yes, it's exactly what it sounds like.

When we drew him, one of the guys in my group drew the Speedo, and he gave him a... bulge.

When we presented him and his story, we were actually asked to censor the Speedo! And if that wasn't enough, I was putting so much emphasis on how I was really not on board with this whole thing. Everyone was laughing. I actually had to excuse myself from the classroom for the rest of the period.

And this all happened a few weeks ago, prior to my writing this.

So there was a time when I was very shy and awkward 😬. I also a very b-b-bad stutter so that really didn't help matters. One day when I was like... ten, I had to do a presentation in front of my homeschool co-op. I think it was about Niagara Falls but I'm not sure. Anyway, I was called up to do the presentation and when I was halfway through it, I had a really bad stuttering moment. I tried to say the word I was going to say for a minute but no go. Eventually, I sort of started crying because I was so embarrassed 😭. After that went home.

One day in a philosophy class, we were watching a September 11 terrorist attack documentary. A lot of people, including me got kinda emotional, and the way I fought it was by taking out my phone and sneakily reading some comics and that stuff to ignore the movie. Unfortunately one of those strips were extremely funny and I flippin' laughed out loud in the class, and it turned out that at the same time, the documentary played the second plane crashing into the twin towers. Everyone was just starring at me and the teacher told me to stay behind the class. I then had to write a few essays about "respect" and "moral" which I feel like I totally deserved.

this is not a joke.

When I was about 9, my friend and I were playing tag in my house. He was it at the time, and he chased me up the stairs. Me, being 9, I did that thing where you crawl up the stairs, you know?

So my friend, instead of tagging me normally, he grabbed my shorts and as I climbed to the next step my shorts fell down and end of story there.
