Let me preface this by saying
this was NOT my finest hour.
This is my friend, Patty.
this was NOT my finest hour.
This is my friend, Patty.
She is expounding on something.
She is a VERY GOOD expounder.
This was taken a few years ago.
Yes! She had one of THOSE sweaters!
I think we all did.
Anyway, my most embarrassing moment
involves moi, Patty, and my daughter, Mimi.
We were at a
WOMEN'S CHURCH RETREAT.
There were meetings that took you from
laughter to tears.
You know that feeling, right?
I will try to make this short.
There had just been a very sad story prior to the upcoming moment.
You know that feeling?
You are emotionally charged one way or another?
.
One of the lecturers was talking
about someone she knew.
He was working on his car and
GOT UNDER IT
holding a gasoline soaked rag
and because it was dark
HE LIT A MATCH.
Well~you can imagine what happened.
He got burned.
NOT FUNNY, RIGHT?
Well, Mimi side whispered to me and Patty.
What kind of idiot lights a match under a car
with gasoline there?
Patty started breathing heavily and
covered her mouth & closed her eyes.
I started to laugh to myself (inside)
but I was shaking.
Pretty soon Patty was shaking, too,
and then it happened.
SHE SNORTED.
I lost it- I was shaking all over
and put my head down
on my arms on the table in front of me
so that I wouldn't
lose it completely,
hoping no one would notice that I
was laughing uncontrollably.
The woman on my other side (that I did not know)
thought I was taking the story very hard and
PATTED ME ON THE BACK.
Patty and I started howling out loud.
Mimi got up and pushed her chair in between us.
We hung our heads in shame.
At the break we left the meeting and
did NOT go back for the last talk.
So, the moral is,
never go to a meeting with Patty.
She is BAD LUCK and someone
might wet their pants!
ps-the man in question recovered completely
pps. We never have.
Have an embarrassing moment
YOU want to share?
I'm all ears-well, and mouth, obviously.
