You guys are telling great stories!

I didn't do this contest because I like to tease other people, or make them feel uncomfortable, or to laugh at their expense, I did it b/c telling funny or embarrassing stories makes us all a bit more "human".  We all have those moments, and we all wish we could melt into the floor- and hearing that other people have had those Oh Gosh moments too bonds us all.

I don't have to give the "most embarrassing" b/c I'm not competing- but thought I'd share one that happened around Christmas time.

We were visiting family for Christmas and many of my relatives were there.  My siblings, sister in law, cousins and spouses, all their kids, my husband, our kids, my parents, aunt, uncle- you get the picture.  We decided to watch old family movies on a big screen.  It was great fun seeing ourselves 20-30 years ago, seeing how young my grandparents used to look, remembering great summers on the lake and skiing.  Yes, the memories.  they were beautiful.
Then there was this one- this one HORRIBLE movie that everyone remembers.  It was me and one of my little brothers. I was probably about 8 years old and so cute.  The camera was just on me, pretty close up and I.... SCRATCHED myself.  Yes.  I did.  IN front of everyone.  I was mortified.  There was an embarrassed silence, and then the snickering started.  I think my uncle said something like- Sure hope you got whatever you were looking for.
I wanted to die right then.  How embarrassing.  ACK!

So- there's mine.  Try not to laugh out loud, I'm still sensitive to it- and I might be able to hear you.

Thanks for the encouraging words. You are right, we can sneak activity in for our kids if we are careful.

Sorry, the number was 77, and Chickadee was the closest, but there will be more contests. I think they are fun to do:)

Nope, Heather, R is not one of the letters...but be sure to give it another try:) If you go to edit template, you would paste the code under where it says Begin left side. Then be sure to preview before saving to make sure it looks right:)
