[...] had my share of embarrassing stories when it comes to, uh, women things. I never thought I’d top my first period story, but then [...]

O.M.Gosh! To all these stories! I almost peed myself trying not to laugh out loud at Backpacking Dad’s story. Twice. Why? Because I’m reading this at work and shouldn’t be.

I embarass easily. A moment that immediately came to mind isn’t really that exciting. Grade 12 Government class. I had just moved to the US, new town, new high school. We were doing our legal system unit and were going to roleplay a murder mystery and then enact a court session. A real lawyer was going to come in as judge. I’m quiet and shy yet decided to get myself and my mystery-solving skills out there. I volunteered to be prosecutor. I was vaporized by the defense who put ME on trial instead of the suspect. I was mortified and had the hardest time keeping myself from crying. Thank goodness the year was almost over. That shut me up for years.

I’m embarassed about pretty much everything I look back on.

I was a freshman in high school, talking to a “totally hunky junior” on the steps after school. I had hayfever or something because I kept rubbing my nose. I knew all my freshman friends were jealous because most of them had huge crushes on this guy. I was very nervous but playing it cool, of course. Then my best friend appeared behind the guy with her eyes wide open and frantically rubbing her nose. I took her cue and rubbed my nose to find the biggest booger I have ever seen. To say I was mortified is an understatement. Shockingly, the guy still hung around me for the rest of the year.

No embarassing period story for me but here’s mine:

In 6th grade the whole class went to overnight camp during the school year. I think it last 3-4 days. We went with another school, so in our cabin was 3 or 4 of us from each school. One night, we’d all gone to bed, but no one was sleeping. I started to feel very sick. I went into the bathroom to go potty. I stood up, pants half down still, to turn around and throw up in the toilet. Suddenly, a girl from the other school opens the bathroom door, sees me standing up and yells out “OH MY GOD SHE’S REALLY A BOY IT STANDS UP TO PEE”

It took me a LONG time to come out of the bathroom, I waited until they all fell asleep……it was hours. I am not sure I have ever spoken that outloud or not!!!

This totally happened top me too, complete with stomachache, and new white izod shorts that I thought were the coolest shorts ever. I was in 6th grade art class. The bell rang, didn’t know why my stomache hurt, stood up to change classes and a boy named Mark Jackson said: “hey, you sat in red paint… hey that’s not paint…OH GROSS”.. I hid in the bathroom until the bell rang to go home than ran to the bus with my backpack tied around my waist (which looked a bit odd). Couldn’t look at Mark until mid high school when I was too punk to care about blood (yeah right). Humiliatind. And now I am married to a man with a way worse story than mine.

I wouldn’t put mine in print. I’ll just say nobody told me what a period was and I fainted dead away at the country club because I thought I was dying.

btw – that outfit doesn’t hold a candle to my cyndi lauper, giant hair, men’s necktie with women’s clothes and chucks phase. (that isn’t the embarrassing moment though.. I think that moment could put me in jail).

I hate mean girls. I pray we are equipped to help our girls deal with them when the time comes. Perhaps we should start them in baby/toddler tae kwan do

OK Heather, I just have to say that I never knew any of that stuff was going on. Who were those mean girls anyway? Well, I know one of them…
