Awkward and Embarrassing Moments....Hate Them Now, Love Them Later!!
Monday, February 15, 2016
We all have those moments that are AWKWARD! We wish we could forget them….but we don’t. I’ve decided I’m willing to share a few of my awkward and embarrassing moments so you all no longer feel alone.
My first is story was probably the most shocking to me of all my stories. I was standing in a circle of boys and girls and we were hitting a volley ball around for fun. I was wearing a pencil style skirt and standing with my legs spread apart and my arms forward, ready for the ball. Some random kid jumped into our circle and rudely batted the ball towards the ground, away from the players. The ball bounced once….then again right by my feet...and it bounced RIGHT UP MY SKIRT. And it STUCK IN MY SKIRT. I stood there, mouth open, the ball pushing my skirt out awkwardly, while all the boys started snickering and pointing. I was so shocked I stood there for about 10 seconds, immobile. I finally moved and pushed the ball out of my skirt with my fingers. I’ve never quite lived that one down. Note to self: this is probably why I shouldn’t play any sports because whenever I come in contact with anything related to a ball, I do something AWKWARD….like the time I dumped water on a bunch of people, while trying to play an impromptu volleyball game with a water bottle?.....let’s just not go there.
My next one happened while we were visiting out-of-state friends. We had an awesome evening full of fun, laughter, and staying up late (!), so we were all very tired. This resulted in sleeping in late the next morning. I got up earlier than anyone so I could get a shower. Realizing I’d forgotten to get shampoo from my parents room the night before, I tiptoed quietly downstairs to their room in my pjs. Confidently, I opened up the door and stepped into the bedroom. I glanced around looking for my parents’ suitcase. WHERE was it?! I tiptoed around the room looking for it and growing more impatient by the second. I walked over to the bed which was a bunk with a double bed on the bottom and a single on the top. I could see, what I thought was, my Dad’s white T-shirt facing me in front, but I could barely make out the lump that must be Mom lying shadowed underneath the other bunk bed. “Mom!” I whispered. No answer. “MOM!” I said louder. Frustrated, I poked Dad’s arm and said in a loud stage whisper, “DAD I NEED THE SHAMPOO!” “Dad” tipped his head back and looked up at me groggily and that’s when I saw his face in full. IT WASN’T MY DAD! It was one of the boys in the family we were visiting! Shocked, I took a better look at “Mom”. It was another boy…..and in the top bunk one of my brothers. AHHHH! The boy I woke up still hadn’t said anything, probably because he’d never seen the scary sight of me in my pjs and bed head hair. “Sorry,” I whispered and turned and dashed out of the room. He never did mention it to me, but, when I was asked later that morning to get something from my parents room, I thought I saw him smile and bite his lip to keep from laughing. Or maybe he thought I was one scary nightmare. Whatever the case was, I was relieved we left that day for home!
So now you know you’re not alone! I do weird, awkward, and embarrassing things A LOT! So don’t feel awkward about sharing some of your embarrassing stories in the comments. It will make ME feel better. Have a crazy and awkwardly fun day!

Hey Air A. Gorn here. I have had a few embarrassing moments. Some are funny and some are just downright embarrassing. So today you will get to know some of my personal embarrassing things.
Earlier this summer my dad and I were working on a project for my room. We were using an electric saw to cut some plywood. A little while later, I was hitting a bush in front of our house pretending to be a jedi, when all of a sudden I hit a wasp’s nest. One thing you need to know about me is that I am allergic to bees and absolutely TERRIFIED OF THEM! So, as soon as I hit the hive, I was covered in about twenty wasps and I ran for my life screaming. My mom, thinking I had cut my fingers off came running out the front door right into a swarm of them. Meanwhile, I was running in circles like a chicken with its head cut off while my dad was trying to get me to run away from the hive. I was panicking and screaming, “Spray me with water!!!” over and over. I finally stopped running in circles and got rid of all but one wasp, which was stuck in my hair. It stung me over and over, which was excruciating. Thankfully, I am not allergic to bees that much so I didn’t die. I just had a massive headache for a couple hours where that one wasp stung me what seemed like twenty times. My mom ended up with just a couple of stings (her first ever). In the end, no one really got hurt. But I am still terrified of bees and wasps.
My next embarrassing story was when I was really young about 6-7 years old. Just like I am afraid of bees, I am also equally terrified of needles. It was the day of my yearly checkup, and I had to get some shots. I was not looking forward to it at all. The checkup part went well, but when the nurse came with the shots, I FREAKED OUT. I did everything in my power to get away from that nurse. As soon as she said, “Will you please get onto the table” I dashed under the chairs and hid behind my moms purse, and screamed. After about five minutes my mom finally had to drag me out and restrain me. I fought my mom with everything in me but the deed was done. The needle had already gone in my arm and then back out. To this day I can’t stand needles. For that reason alone I will probably never give blood. Most likely nothing will ever get rid of my fear of needles.
I have done some pretty embarrassing things in my life, some I will probably never tell anyone, but, in the end, it is all good for laughs. So I hope you have all enjoyed a little bit of the embarrassing part of me. Chow!

Thanks for sharing and making my day a little lighter! :-) I'm sure in the moment none of these were funny, but they do bring us laughter in the end...which reminds me...let's just say being naive around cactus' isn't the best way to earn a merit badge!!! ;-)
