Time for some Friday Fun! Everyone has them…they range from something as simple as locking your keys in the car…all the way up to walking around the mall with your skirt tucked into your panties. I’m referring to those awful embarrassing moments we try so hard to forget!
I posted the question on Facebook to see how many people would be willing to share some of their own incidents. I know we can ALL relate to them on some level:
*Making out in a bell tower then coming down the stairs to find “your” dad and “her” mom waiting for both of you. 
*In Jr. High hoping to get the attention of the love of your life, then after finally saying hello walking straight into a pole!
*Skipping stones with your boyfriend and accidentally hitting him in the back of the head. You used to be a softball pitcher which only makes it worse! (congrats on 24 yrs…musta been some hit!)
*Bending over your desk to pick up a pencil and having it tumble over…with you in a dress (you get the picture).
*Peeing in an empty theater parking lot just as the movie lets out (oops).
*There were also several anonymous mentions of “potty accidents” but we’re trying to keep this post as “clean” as possible…LOL
Since you were all so great it’s only fair if I share some of my shining moments with you as well. A few times (yes more than once) I had the unfortunate surprise of Aunt “Flo” coming to visit while at school. The other day I was looking through my Junior High yearbook and found this comment: “Remember the time your mom sent the feminine hygiene products in the paper sack for you to our class? I didn’t know what was in the bag and opened it in front of everyone!”
Then more recently (a couple years ago) my brother-in-law was getting married. The bride to be also has a brother and he rode his motorcycle to the rehearsal dinner. My kids were 9 and 11 and when I got offered a “ride” on the bike my initial reaction was NO WAY! I figured I’d end up in pieces, plus there was a huge festival going on so the streets were lined with hundreds of other bikers. When I saw the disappointed looks on the kids faces I thought twice. I decided to go for it and they cheered! Then I remembered I was wearing a skirt…hmm?
I was told to pull it up from behind like a diaper and all would be fine for the ride. A few minutes later with the wind in my face and a big smile, we slowed to a stop at an intersection where another bike was stopped. The guy shot me a strange look and as the light turned green and we picked up speed I realized the “diaper fold” had come undone and I was flashing the world (yes I was wearing undies) but I was mortified!
There are plenty more stories where these came from but I just wanted to make a point that we all have one (or many) and the best thing to do is laugh…oh and make sure to wear clean underwear…hee-hee!
Feel free to comment and share your own “moment”…you may make someone’s day!

I can’t believe my brother actually shared that! I sooooo remember it, like it was yesterday. lol The good ole’ days…when life was so carefree.
Now it’s our kiddos turns to “get into trouble”…at least you have a little longer… but time flies!!
My whole life is a series of embarrassing moments. Picking one out would be like the proverbial needle in an haystack. It’s good to have a life that others can point and laugh at.

I’m honored you stopped by Wendy…I always appreciate your “antics” on Twitter!
Hmm….lots of embarrassing moments.
Like when I was working at a department store and told a woman that we didn’t carry maternity dresses, but we had some that were very full that she could probably wear.
To which she replied, “What makes you think I need a maternity dress?”
Um…sorry…my bad.
Will the surprises never end?! I told the hubby my goal was to get you to “stop by” and now you have…now what?! LOL
Your story is great and after my daughter was born (about 4 weeks old) that happened to me when I ran to the store to grab something and the guy asked when I was due…but in all fairness I did have a newborn!
Thanks for sharing and stopping by…you should definitely do it again
Great blog Bridget! Great job on posting regularly but then you like to write and you’re so good at it. Thank you!!
Thanks Brenda…it’s a lot of fun and this Friday Fun thing has been a blast!
This made me laugh out loud. That is part of why I love online. I never laughed so much… hehehe. Oh! You want to know something embarrassing about me? Not on your life! hahaha
You don’t have anything embarrassing do you…??!!
Well Todd always likes to tell this story: he came home one morning (working nights) and woke me up with this question “How does Fishkill, NY sound?” and so I asked “I don’t know why did the fish kill New York?” Come to find out he was asking me if I wanted to move to Fishkill, NY.
LOL Laurie the best part is I can picture you saying this with such sincerity! Thanks for sharing.
Bridget this was a hilarious/fun blog! Thanks for writing it
Your ‘feminine hygiene’ moment reminded me of the time, in 7th grade) I was making eyes at my crushboy when I pulled a tampon out of my purse thinking it was a pen, and pretended to write with it. Oh My Goodness, it still makes me blush. Or the time, in the same class, in front of crushboy, I fell asleep during ‘Gandhi’ in a pool of my own slobber. A huge pool. ::headshake::
I’m so happy for you that you were wearing undies on that bike. It would have been so awful. lol!
Ok that ‘fem hygiene’ story trumps mine
Thanks for sharing all the fun ‘stuff’…you are awesome!
