my turn
And yes I was 14! We were on a family vacation to Alaska and we got a little lost around Portage Glacier and this gorgeous park ranger found us as well as some others (he'd been patrolling due to an inordinate number of bears in the area). It was cold and he had all the ingredients to make hot chocolate. So we are standing in a circle of family and strangers and me with my dorky glasses, hideous skin and Farrah hair. I'm trying to act so cool so as to impress cutie boy, cause you know-I was so hot anyway. And my uncle said something funny just as I took a drink of REALLY hot chocolate and I laughed and shot REALLY hot chocolate OUT OF MY NOSE in front of everybody including the gorgeous park ranger. And of course being 14 I did not realize how obvious I was in acting SO cool and my dad leaned over and said, "I bet that really impressed him."
It hurt like H-E-double bamboo shoots to top it off.

I needed a laugh and dug down deep in the "taking your mind off..." forum for this!
Lucky for me, I haven't had any more embarassing moments since then, but I'll be SOMEONE has!

I am laughing so uncontrollably right now that I had to explain my reasons why outloud to Ed. Just pulling up this post has me laughing and smiling real hard. Chrisy and I needed this tonight more than I even knew I did. This laughter really made me know that this family is such an important element in my life. I feel so alive and purposeful when it is not all about cancer.
TO THE NEWBIES: Please note that I cannot be held responsible for the embarrassing moments written here in this thread..........I think someone forged my name......hahahaha.
Chrisy, I love you!!

Pinkie, talking about streched out sports bras and the fake boobie.....a few yrs ago I was at the gym doing some pull-downs on the bar and I SHOULD NOT have worn that streched out sports bra cuz my pad came right out of the top of the bra, up to the top of my tank top and was sitting right there next to my collar bone!! I looked around real fast to see if anyone noticed!!

About 14 years ago, my youngest daughter was less than a year old and still in diapers. My son was about 6.
We were walking down the aisle in wal mart that had picture frames. I had my baby in the buggy. She was old enough to sit in the little seat in the front. My son was close by.
In the picture frame aisle, there was a very little old lady looking at picture frames. As we passed by, I could tell (obviously) that the little old lady has passed some wind. I tried to hurry on past, because it was quite fragrant, and honestly, I didn't want anyone else, namely my son, to think "I" did it!
Well, my son leans over the baby's lap, sniffs, wrinkles up his nose, and says in a very loud voice, "EWWWW SHE STINKS!!!!"
Of course, he is referring to the baby, but the little old lady thinks otherwise. I sped up to break neck speed and took the corner on two wheels!
