Skirts are off limits for a while...

Let's talk about most embarrassing moments for a few lines.

When doing ice-breakers in a group setting I feel like this topic is always brought up. I've had a problem in the past coming up with something good.  My default has always been a time when I was 9 years old in an eye doctor's office. Both my legs fell asleep and I ended up on the floor. Traumatizing for a young kid, but I think that story has run it's course. Just in time too as this week I've upgraded to a much better most embarrassing story.  Woo hoo! Kind of neat that it just happens to have happened in Colombia too!

So, I wore a skirt to school on Wednesday. I've been trying super hard to wear this skirt for a few weeks now.  I actually told the guys at my bus stop that I  needed some fashion advice on what kind of top to wear with a stretchy knee-length black skirt. They were by no means helpful, but I managed to pull something cute together (or at least I thought it was cute, more on that later).

All was well until I decided I had to go to the bathroom before lunch. I quick went to the bathroom, then walked by the giant group of boys playing ping-pong, up the stairs, past the staff room (waving to a male teaching chilling in there), made it to the end of the hall, and THAT is when it happened: one of my 10th grade girls and the high school psychologist came sprinting up to me and grabbed at my back. My cheeks got real hot real fast when I realized my skirt had been tucked into the back of my orange panties the entire time. I don't know how I managed to make it so far without ANYONE else saying something. Yeah....take that in for a moment. Fail. Ha!

Well, at least at the end of the day the secretary, psychologist and a few other female teachers laughed about it...really hard...for a really long time!  Staff bonding? Worth it every time? I think it will be a while before I wear a skirt/dress again!

...Oh yeah, to add insult to injury: at the end of the day one of my 9th graders came up to me, did a quick full body scan with his eyes, and told me I looked like an old lady. Score! 23-year-old going on 50.
