8 Days Old and Still Living With my Parents #embarrassing

Embarrassing moments...
We all have them.
I've recently had some pretty funny ones that I really just feel like putting on the internet...
no really, that's the plan.

Embarrassment...
Just a little while ago, I had THE FUNNIEST EXPERIENCE OF MY ENTIRE LIFE...  At the expense of others, of course.

Imagine, if you will, a gorgeous summer day.  The sun shining, the sky beautiful, and warm with a nice breeze.
I was riding my bike, parallel to a somewhat busier road.  Minding my own business and in deep thought, I was awakened from my apparent stupor by a flirtatious 'Hey!'.  I turned my head to see what on earth was going on as well as to see who was talking to whom.  I realized that a teenaged boy, in a car full of his (presumably) friends (whom he was driving) was waving at me with half of his body outside of his car.  I responded politely with a bewildered 'Hey' back.  He (I'm pretty sure) was still formulating his next sentence when he accidentally swerved and drove halfway over the median before getting stuck.
I could not keep myself from laughing ferociously.  It was probably the funniest thing I've ever seen.  His friends in the back were all laughing too...  
Shocked--and (more than) slightly embarrassed, the poor boy said, 'You didn't see that, did you?'
all I could do (because I was laughing so dang hard) was nod my head as if to say yes as I peddled away.
I can only imagine that it was a very embarrassing moment for this young man (and I wish him the best of luck in explaining this latest faux paux to his parents, the cops, and the insurance agency), but that's just what you get for not staying inside of your car when driving it...  It was quite the pickle.

Speaking of Pickles...
Last night was another funny and embarrassing moment...  this time for myself.

as background: my wonderful family has a fantastic sense of humor and we all tease each other to some extent because we love each other.

So anyway, my littlest sister is adorable and I like to call her 'Pickle', a name of which she approves.  Last night, as I walked past her in the hall that connects our bedrooms, I treated her to a wet willie.  After squealing, she tried to get me back.  I didn't allow it (that's what little siblings do, ok?  They're supposed to be teased and they can't do too much about it.).  I went back into my room and locked the door.  About 10 minutes later, when I emerged, she was waiting around the corner and surprised me with an attempt at a tickle.  I laughed and she seized the moment to pin me to the ground.
With her plan working like a well oiled machine, me being pinned beneath her to the floor and I laughing hysterically, she commenced work on her real  object in the operation: repaying my wet willie.
So there we were, in the middle of the entryway, myself dying of laughter and my sister administrating rapid-fire wet willies as if there were no tomorrow when my brother and his dear friend walked in the door.  They couldn't do anything but join into my laughter at the bizarre sight.  It was pretty great.  
For the rest of the night we were laughing and marveling at how someone half my size had tackled me to the floor to wet my ears with saliva (delicious, eh?) as I watched Megamind (hence the title)...
And that's pretty much the end of the story.

So now that I've got that off my chest,
Sayonara, mis amigos!
