"When I was in 8th grade, we were in the weight room for gym class. I was on the ab bars where you swing your legs up and down to work your abs. A friend was with me and we were talking. I was explaining something to her and I accidentely spit on her and it was quite large. She started freaking out so I started to laugh pretty hard. She began freaking out even more and ran at me and hit my stomach. Well, I was having trouble not peeing bc I was laughing and when she hit my stomach.... that was bad news. I ran to the nearest corner and finish releasing the liquid in my bladder. She was wondering why I ran to the corner and then realized the mat under me was wet. I told her not to tell and had her cover me while I ran to the locker room to change out of my shorts and stay there until class was over.

"When I was younger, I was in gymnastics for only a year. I tried a lot of new things at that age and so this was one activity that I wanted to try. Of course, everybody else in it started when they were three because their mum's were crazy insane, so when I was a newbie in second grade I was definitely behind. I didn't have any awesome gymnastic outfits either, so I showed up to practice once a week in jeans and a tee shirt. One day, we were practicing head stands and of course, my shirt fell down to my neck. Girls pointed and laughed. It was sad and then to top it all off my mum showed up late so I was in the parking lot alone sitting on the curb afterwards."

"I'm not really embarassed very easily, but I was embarassed one time. I was going to physical therapy because I had sprained my ankle badly and my physical therapist was this girl's (who I sorta knew. We were sorta friends) dad who is pretty handsome older dude. All the mom's secretly swoon over him because he dresses really well and likes to exercise a lot and he's really nice and funny too! Anyways, so this one day, I went in and they said I could go back and see him, so I did. He happened to be wearing these shoes that I had many times looked at in this shoe catalogue because they really confused me. I just thought they were really weird and sorta ugly and I couldn't understand why anyone would buy them. So I first saw him and then I saw and then with my peripheral vision, I saw his shoes and my eyes went from his face to his shoes real fast. Basically I totally checked him out, but actually he was just wearing weird shoes that actually looked good on him. He totally noticed."
