The look on your face after you realize you just did something really foolish! Well someone's face. Those humbling experiences that are forever embedded in our minds to remind us we are not perfect.

Maybe it’s just being silly around the pool and jumping in, only to realize you landed on someone’s head. Or swinging a gate open with zest to allow your first girlfriend to pass through first like the gentleman you are, only to have it bounce back in her face and give her a big red mark on her forehead. How about giving one of your children the lecture of a lifetime. You know what I’m talking about; you are done hearing excuse, you blast him or her with, you are the parent and you know what you are talking about. You throw in everything to get a lifetime of lessons all in one great lecture; the evils of lying, stealing, meanness, deceit, maybe even a little adultery and lust for when they get older. And don’t forget bearing false witness, you’re on a roll now, wammo, zap, ka zam,wow. You are blasting him like a sergeant to young snotty nosed recruits. And than, you suddenly realize, you guessed it. He was right this time, it was his sister that did it, all along.

Well, I’m going to give you my biggy, imbedded with steal rivet in my planning room of prideful acts. The big wall that keeps me from throwing caution to the wind and charging up to a microphone in a large auditorium filled with people, telling everyone just what I think of the school cafeteria and those darn dress regulations, and Mr. Brown’s silly toupee.

We were at June Lake on a summer vacation. I was a proud 14 years old, and full of myself. It was the last day and along with about 10 other friends, we were all at an outdoor evening dinner. There were two picnic tables put together (I can remember this like it was yesterday) we were having chicken and mashed potatoes. I remember that because I had my mouth full of mashed potatoes. And than it happened; a sudden sneeze came, mouth full of mashed potatoes and an immediate need to sneeze. I held my mouth shout. But that didn’t stop it, in a nanosecond the sneeze re-directed itself through my nose. Yes I sneezed out my mashed potatoes through my nose. Splattering everyone like a drywall man turning his splatter nozzle to the blank wall in front of him. It was incredible; the look on their faces suddenly became frozen in my mind for eternity. I got up and stumbled over the canvas side curtains, pulling down the electric cord for the lights above. All the lights went out. The nightmare ended with my escape to my cabin.

Well that’s about enough from me, now it’s your turn. Is there anyone out there brave enough to share some embarrassing moment in their life?
