Hi, my name is Chris and I wanted to tell you about some embarrassing moments that I had from my .

The first one isn’t that big of a deal, but I still remember being embarrassed. I wanted to go get some candy, and I didn’t have change. Well, I noticed that my brother had some sitting on his nightstand – and so I figured I’d a little bit. Well later on, I found out that I accidentally spent his two-headed nickel, and he was really, really upset – and I was so embarrassed because I couldn’t do about it.

The next embarrassing moment happened when I was about three or four years old. My took us to a roller coaster park called King’s Island. Now, during the day I had to go to the bathroom. Well, I did what a lot of three or four-year-old boys do: I my pants and underwear down to my ankles, and I was ready to go right where I was standing. Fortunately, my parents were able to me before I did anything. Unfortunately, during this time a couple of girls walked by, and they started laughing at my bare bottom. Looking back, they were probably just laughing because it was , but I remember being so embarrassed as a child.

This one is probably the most embarrassing moment that I can recall. My uncle Ronnie took me to a friend’s farm. They invited us over for and said that I could explore their farm before we ate. So I went out and I checked things out. I ended up going inside of one of the barns. I got to see some cats, some and some cows. Well after a while my uncle called for me, saying it was time for dinner. So I headed out of the barn, but before I made it to the door, I noticed this pit – it was about two feet wide, one foot , and spanned the length of the barn – so I jumped across it.

The problem is, I didn’t make it – I fell down inside of the pit. And I noticed it was pretty sticky and gooey and yucky, and it really bad. I cried out for some help; my uncle rushed in and discovered that I was covered from to toe in cow poop. He took me back to the house, and I remember standing there on their porch with the entire family at me, and I was just covered. It was so embarrassing!

But luckily they were so gracious and ; they let me use their bathroom, and I got a shower and got cleaned up. And they even still me the best dinner that I ever had.

So my advice to you is if you ever find yourself in that same situation, make sure you can jump the pit, or don’t bother trying at all.
