Prompt: Describe your most embarrassing moment. Provide as much detail as you can.


When I was about 7 years old my sister and I went to the ever famous Culvers. My sister was about 4 at the time and we were there with our father and his mother, our grandmother. It was midsummer and sweltering hot so we were of course wearing tee-shirts, shorts, and flip-flops. Like always, our father tells us to go find a seat and sit down while they order. We found a blue booth that was next to a window, letting in all the sunshine. There was a family in the other booth having their lunch and a couple other people spread out around the dinning room that was large to a 7 year old. My sister and I sat down and tried waiting patiently for the adults to arrive with the random number card that you set at the end of the table. Of course, we got bored and to satisfy our curiosity, we thought it was a great idea to throw a shoe across the table. Hey, it's just like throwing a ball around. It gets tossed back and forth and we think nothing of it until it soars over my head onto the booth behind us. It lands in the dead center. If it was archery and the table a target, it would have been a perfect bulls-eye. It landed on top of the garbage piled on the tray in the center.
