I have 3 embarrassing moments that stand out in life. Only one had no witnesses though..........
1. I was 19 newly married, we went to Jacksonville Florida to visit my brother in law stationed there. We went to this big bar/night club like place frequented by the service men. His girlfriend met up with us there. We were waited on by this fourty something women with a short short skirt. She was way to old to be dressed the way she was, like she was trying to hold onto her youth, but lost it years ago! Peggy Bundy kinda comes to mind. Anyway I said something about it to everyone and it turned out to be his girlfriends Mom. Open mouth......Insert foot.
2. This one is the most embarrassing, happened back in Jan. 87 or 88. I woke up one morning and noticed under my arms were green, going thru a bit of a hypocondriac stage, I freaked out. I called the doctors office and told them I was coming right in. I thought I was dieing. I drove like a maniac, honking my horn, I was going to pass out. I get to the office, at deaths door, white as a ghost (with green arms) they made a comment that I looked bad, okay that did it, I was not breathing well and ready to expire. They rushed me back to a room and the Doctor came right in. He checked me over and said that blood pools in people some times (he gave it a name) and he was going to run some tests. Starting to feel alittle better since I was were my life could be saved if I should take a turn for the worse. The nurse came in to take some blood for testing. She looked at my arms and walked over to the sink, she got a paper towel and wetted it with some soap, came over and rubbed my arm, the towel turned green. She started laughing! and said "have you worn any new clothes lately?" My mother in law (next marriage) had given me this neat "GREEN" shirt for X mas, I wore it the day before and the dye had rubbed off on my arms. I heard about that for along time at the doctors office, I made their day. I really was DYEING. I am happy to say that incident cured me of my hypocondria. It makes you wonder about Doctors though, he was going to run tests, the lowly nurse said take a shower.
3. The first time I took my new granddaughter for the day she was about 2 weeks old (she's almost 5 now) I met my daughter somewhere and she gave me the baby and her car seat. It took me about 5 minutes to get her lovingly all strapped in the car seat. I drove off and turned the corner. I hear this big THUD. I look back and see the baby upside down in the space between the back seat and the front seat. The baby was nice and safe in the car seat but I had forgotten to buckle the car seat in. Boy did I feel DUMB. No witnesses to this one. I didn't tell my daughter about it until a couple weeks ago. She laughed so hard.
Okay I'm done embarrasing myself (hands mirophone over to someone else).
