One time during an orchestra concert in high school, I somehow missed the chair as I sat down after coming onstage. I ended up flashing the audience my underwear. I quickly got up and pretended nothing happened, but I could hear the audience laughing.
@moonbeam I didn't "like" your post because it sounds traumatizing. (I can say you definitely took it better than I would have) I just liked it because it was something new to learn
@moonbeam Oh no! I totally would have bust out crying.
I brush off public embarrassment pretty easily, maybe because it happened to me a lot lol.
One time in 8th grade during an instrumental concert, we were tuning our instruments backstage. One of the strings on my violin broke because I sucked at tuning, so I ran into the band room where my teacher was and announced in a panic, to a room full of about 80 middle school kids, "My G-string popped!" The laughter was deafening, and I heard about this all the way until high school graduation.
I lost my first tooth when I was 4, my parents never told me that you loose your baby teeth.
We were camping, I was laying in bed in the trailer with my sister. My other 2 siblings were in the bunk bed in the trailer. The tooth came out into my pillow case, and I guess it bled a little bit. I apparently let out blood curling screams, and when my parents found me they say that they thought I would be terrified for life.

My nickname as a kid was Monkey. I used to climb on everything. Apparently once I was climbing on the counters looking in the cabinets for "a piece of mind". I guess this was a slogan for some medication company (like Advil or something). Looks like their marketing worked on a small child
@moonbeam - When I was in high school I was in a group where we traveled to different schools and performed skits about harassment and relationship abuse awareness. We were doing a Q&A session with a gym full of middle school students and a kid asked a question about whether we ever got made fun of at our school for being in the group, and I didn't think through my sentence before I responded, "No one has ever gone down on me for being in [the group]."
Yeah, I got crap about that one for a loooooooong time. I was SO embarrassed.
