I have to share this with you, although I can’t really figure out why. It’s a really embarrassing moment. Actually, I should be more embarrassed about it than I am. You see, on Mondays and Fridays after teaching, I tutor Thing One. I always bring a change of clothes because I’m not a complete moron and refuse to wear my good clothes within 15 miles of kids bearing crayons, markers, and paint. Usually, I take the clothes to my second class and change in the bathroom afterward. Yesterday, though, I was running late and forgot them. No biggie, I thought, I don’t have to change my sweater, only my pants. I can change in the car. Besides, I was parked half in a huge snow drift. The right side of my car was protected by a huge van and the left by the snow. Who’s going to see me? So, I’m sitting in my car with my pants off and one leg in my jeans when I hear a knock at the window. I turn to see the nice male owner of the van asking me if I can move my car so he can get into his van. What the hell am I supposed to say??!! Finally, I yell “Just give me a minute to finish changing!”, hoping he got the point because I *know* he saw what I was doing, unsexy underwear and all. How do I know this? Because he wouldn’t make eye contact with me when I pulled out. I’m still not entirely sure he believed I was just changing. Yeah. Story of my life. And now, being supportive friends, you must share with me your embarrassing moments to make me feel better. please??
