The following are the first two winners of a Most Embarrassing
Moment's Contest in New Woman Magazine.
"While in line at the bank one afternoon, my toddler decided to
release some pent-up energy and ran amok. I was finally able to grab
hold of her after receiving looks of disgust and annoyance from other
patrons. I told her that if she did not start behaving RIGHT NOW,
she would be punished. To my horror, she looked me in the eye and
said in a voice just as threatening, 'If you don't let me go RIGHT
NOW, I will tell Grandma that I saw you kissing Daddy's pee-pee last
night!'
"The silence was deafening after this enlightening exchange. Even the
tellers stopped what they were doing! I mustered up the last of my
dignity and walked out of the bank with my daughter in tow. The last
thing I heard when the door closed behind me were screams of
laughter."
- Amy Richardson, Stafford, Virginia.
"It was the day before my eighteenth birthday. I was living at home,
but my parents had gone out for the evening, so I invited my
girlfriend over for a romantic night alone. "As we lay in bed after
making love, we heard the telephone ring downstairs. I suggested to
my girlfriend that I give her a piggyback ride to the phone. Since we
didn't want to miss the call, we didn't have time to get dressed.
When we got to the bottom of the stairs, the lights suddenly came on
and a whole crowd of people yelled, 'SURPRISE!'
"My entire family - aunts, uncles, grandparents, cousins - and all my
friends were standing there! My girlfriend and I were frozen in a
state of shock and embarrassment for what seemed like an eternity.
Since then, no one in my family has planned a surprise party again."
- Tim Cahill, Poughkeepsie, New York.
