When I was in 7th grade, I went to a music camp at school for two weeks over the summer. We were watching The Sound of Music in the library one day and I got up and realized I'd gotten my period all over my white shorts and the yellow plastic chair. I was so mortified, I ran out and hid in the bathroom until a (female) teacher found me. My mom couldn't leave work right away to bring me more clothes, so they decided to find me something in the costume room from all the old musicals. So, they brought me an Alice in Wonderland costume. I had to sit in the main office (which was all glass) in the Alice costume until my mom could come get me. While I was waiting, a male teacher came in and asked me what had happened in the library because he'd seen all the blood. I just started sobbing. It was terrible.
OMg- i'm sobbing laughing- they thought putting you in a COSTUME would help??? OMG. It's like a joke... i can't believe it!
A few years ago my now dh and I were at an outdoor food festival. We were STARVING when we got there I went nuts on all the yummy, fattening foods. We were in line for a booth when I felt my stomach start to cramp. I leaned back towards my husband and whispered "I'm about to have some RAGING gas." There was a pause and then an unfamiliar voice said "I don't know why you're telling me this but thanks for the warning" Yeah I had gotten separated in line from my dh and was talking to a stranger who was wearing the same color shirt. I was very happy we could melt into the crowd after my TMI moment.
I think I've told this one before, but I'll tell it again. I was at a "teen day" thing at our local library (don't laugh-- I was home schooled and did what I could for socialization) with several new friends. I went into the bathroom (which had a really flimsy door and lock) to poop. The stupid toilet WOULD NOT FLUSH. I was in there forever trying to figure out what to do and my friends started banging on the door to see if I was ok. Now, I was really in a panic so I did what any reasonable person would do and picked the turd up out of the toilet to throw it away in the trash can. Just as I was walking over to the trash, my friends burst through the door to see me standing there holding a turd. They ran out screaming and I just about died of embarrassment on the spot.

OMG- i'm so glad someone else posted another tear-jerker (the laughing kind) story... i was hoping for more.
and the fact that you were home schooled and not around other teens all the time makes it an even better story

Glad to see others enjoying this story, it gets retold at every family get together I attend, gotta love it!

Well, my nickname is Grace because I am the least graceful, most clumsy person ever.
* I was out to dinner at my favorite restaurant when I had got the stomach cramps. I went to the bathroom only to have really bad diarrhea. As I flushed, the toilet overflowed. I clogged the damn toilet! I was so embarrassed that I grabbed my boyfriend and ran out of that place fast. I never went back.
* In the 8th grade I fell backwards off the band risers.
* I was playing basketball in my backyard and the backboard and metal hoop came down on my head breaking my nose and splitting my head open. This wouldn't be so bad except one of my classmates was having a party next door and EVERYONE saw. I was the laughing stock of school for weeks.
I have an embarrassing "mom" story if we're going back to elementary school.
As much as I love my mom, she had a not-always-appropriate sense of style. She was wearing a pair of short-shorts that were too short and she had some major butt-cheek hanging out. We were walking out of a store and I saw that all the hot boys in my sixth grade class were hanging out on their bikes at the store entrance. My mom saw a penny on the ground, bent down at the waist, booty aimed toward the hot-guys and picked up the penny, singing "See a penny pick it up and all the day you'll have good luck." All I could see was my mother's hammies, dimples and veins and all, aimed at the guy I was crushing on and his friends.
In her defense, this *was* the mid-70s and booty shorts were all the rage. For people who weren't my mother.
Courtesy of Mr.Womet, I asked someone to whom I was being introduced (by a superior, no less) when her baby was due. She wasn't pregnant.
About 10 years ago, I worked for a smoothie place. I was still in training and really wanted to do a good job greeting the customers. Some teenage boys about my age came in and stared at the menu. I wanted to make sure to be attentive to them and take their order right away, but didn't want to pressure them. I wanted to say "Let me know if I can take your order, if you have any questions, or if you need some time/ a few seconds to look at the menu". What I said was "Let me know if you are ready to order if you want some secs".
I think I've told this one before, but I'll tell it again.

I love the turd story and was hoping you would tell it. Last time you did, I couldn't stop laughing for about an hour.
The summer after sophomore year of college I went to a bonfire with my friends from home. Of course, everyone was drinking. At one point, I had to go to the bathroom, and so did my friend Autumn. We went off to the edge of a wooded area so no one would see us.
You know how when you have to pee outside you pull your pants down, then hold your pants out of the way with one hand while you sort of make that tripod with both legs and the other arm? Pants down? Check. Out of the way? Check. Lean back on the other arm? Um. Nope. It turns out we were right at the top of a giant hill. When I went to lean back on my hand and start to pee, my hand never hit the ground (due to the hill.) I went rolling down the hill with my pants around my ankles.
My girlfriend said all she could hear was me yelling her name and it getting quieter and quieter as I got farther away, like AUTUMN AUTUmn AUTumn AUtumn Autumn autumn....
I lost one of my favorite shoes in the tumble, but didn't get seriously hurt, thank goodness. Some of our guy friends grabbed flashlights and launched a shoe search party, but we never actually found it. It was definitely one of my most embarassing moments.
Ok, this one made me laugh out loud. I've got the church giggles while DH is trying to sleep!

My freshman year of community college I was wearing a skirt with pantyhose to class. I left class when it was over, walked out to my car, passed by a grinning male classmate twice, and then went to the commons to get lunch. As I was standing in line ordering lunch, I feel a tap on my shoulder. A girl I went to high school with came up to me and told me that the back of my skirt was tucked into my pantyhose. Full on ass shot for 15 minutes as I walked all through campus.
About a year into dating my DH we had a fun night of beer pong, which turned into wine pong when we ran out of beer. DH gave me the bed to sleep in, and he slept on the floor. Apparently I had a dream I was camping because I had to pee in the middle of the night and squatted next to his head and let loose. THANKFULLY I did not actually pee on him. I was so mortified
