an embarrasing moment:
my high school nickname was Rah-Rah, and at our Capping Ceremony (Senior Awards) all my friends were yelling out "Yeah Rah-Rah!" from the audience. Well, my MOM decides that SHE TOO is going to call me Rah-Rah, from the front row. So, you know how moms always mess up some slang with the wrong voice inflection? Well, she's like "yeah rah-RAH!"
Okay, my friends didn't really play up the fact that my mom was loud and embarrassing. They were like  "Okay, Miss dardenr's mom." What was EMBARRASING was the fact that the principal was sitting next to me, heard my mom from the audience, and in his deep, principal's voice, says: "Rah-Rah. Heh heh heh."
I just buried my face in my hands.

Most Embarassing
I had went to a "fun party" and I bought some "toys" in order to keep the fire in my marriage. My husband wasn't going for it, so the "toys" are collecting dust in my top drawer of my chest of drawers. Well atleast I thought they were. So on Easter I get the children ready to go to a BBQ. I had to stop off at the grocery store to pick up some more items. I leave the children in the car with my aunt. So I'm in the express line, about the sixth person in line, my oldest son, who is nine, comes running in the store saying, "Momma, Pooh-Pooh, got your black thing with the long cord on it, and on the end you push up this button, and it vibrates." I was still dumb founded because I didn't know what he was talking about until he said it again., "Momma Pooh-Pooh got your thing with the silver thing on the end that vibrates. I was so shame and shocked, I am glad that nobody heard it. I toild him to go to the car, and that I was going to get him.
So, I am the third person in line, and he comes running in screaming at the top of his voice, SEE MOMMA THIS IS WHAT POOH POOH HAD." At that moment, I looked down, and their he had the "Silver Bullet" just dangling every where. I could have dove into the potato ship rack when I saw him coming with that. Everybody that saw this, was laughing at me. I was so embarassed. I made him go to the car. So after I paid for my items, I was on my way to the car. Lo and behold, sitting in the windshield was the silver bullet. My aunt put it up there. Mind you I was parked directly in front of the door. I was too through.
I get in the car, I asked my aunt why did she have that in the window. She thought that she was doing a good deed by taking it from my son. I asked them how did the thing get out of the house. They said that my baby said that I gave it to him. Mind you that the "toys" have never been used. They were not dirty.

When I was in college...
I lived next door to the campus police station. Attached to it, was an eatery and convenience store. I used to stop in between classes to get a drink and snack. They had these really good homemade muffins that they kept right by the exit. I guess they wanted to intice you to come back in and get one.
Well, one day I was running late for class and the line was pretty long in the convenience store. So, I decided I was just going to take a muffin and go about my way. Well, it was so easy to take the one, that I got greedy and decided to grab another to have wth lunch. So, I'm walking out of the store with my stolen muffins wrapped in napkins in my jacket pocket. Somehow, I slip and fall down the stairs exiting the building. And my muffins roll out of my pocket and right in front of a police officer that was walking out of the station. He walked over to me and asked me if I was ok. I said yes, and tried to regain my confidence. He looked at the muffins hidden in the napkins and asked if they were mine. I couldn't admit, so I said no. And he said, 'looks like someone was trying to get something for nothing here, huh?' I just smiled and walked away as he picked up the muffins and put them in the trash.
I never tried that one again.

When I was little, my father had this thing for old RAGGEDY cars. He tried to fix them up, but he had like 3 or 4 in a row, because none of them lasted more than 8-12 months because they were in such bad shape.
Well, the first day of 5th grade, I took the bus home from school. Suddenly the bus drove into this big cloud of smoke, everyone started coughing and stuff. Next the bus stopped, I wonder what the heck is holding up the traffic. So I looked outside, and then I saw it! A shabby blue 1960-something Buick with rust spots, blowing a lot of smoke, and making a lot noises. I was like, OMG that's my dad's car. The bus driver opened up the door because someone was at the doorstep...my dad. The bus driver then shouted "Is there a Tanya ********* on this bus? Your dad is here to give you a ride home!" I walked all the way from the back to the front. What's worse it was raining, so there was a little trench with water between the bus and my father, so he picked me up off the bus as if I were a baby. Yep, EVERYONE saw it all, the messed up car and him picking me up! It took a while for people to let me live it down.

Hello everyone, I couldn't believe I saw one of my threads I started a longggg time ago resurrected  . That was when I was just a sisterfriend!!  , but anyway,
I was walking with my new paraphernalia on at my job. Man, was I working it. Trying to let all the hatas know who I am. I saw my friend girl across the area (mind you, i never go see what she wants i always make her come to me but this day was different....I had on my 'nalia) I was taking the longest way possible to get to her and I had on these cute wedge hill sandals. As i was walking pretty, my shoe tilted over and I fell in front of EVERYBODY.  I was in such shock I just pretended like I was picking something up and brushed off and kept going. when i got over to her she and everyone that was standing around bust out laughing.

I'm tagging on to this thread because the question I have is similar.
I would like to know, from sorors and sisterfrieds, what was the most embarrassing thing that happend to you on your quest for the illustrious land of pink and green?
I can't remeber my most embarrasing moment but I do recall a moment that I was really embarrassed for someone else.
It was a staturday morning and the ladies of Alpha Kappa Alpha were hosting their annual "campus clean up". Everybody on campus is encouraged to attend, but you know that the people who show up will mostly be those young ladies that are interested in possibly becoming a member. As well as a few freshmen men trying to get close to some cute girls.
Well anyway, everybody is gathered around the plot (AKA's on the plot, everybody else on the sidewalk) when a gril walks out of the dorms wearing pink and green from head to toe just ready to pick her up some trash. But it doesn't end there as if that wasn't the end all, she walks right past all those people standing on the sidewalk, right up onto the grass and sits down on the plot bench. There was a very audible gasp amongst the croud and then you heard lots of whispering and then a soror yells out "what is she doing? And she's wearing my colors?". One of the other sorors pulls her to the side (i.e. snatches her off the plot  ) and explains to her what the problem was and the girl went back to her room and changed. She really had no clue.
I felt so bad for her. But not for long, becuase she became a soror before me.

Embarrassing Child Moments
I always enjoy the cute child stories I read here and thought I'd share a recent experience...
I was shopping in Wal-mart recently with my two daughters (ages 8, 4). The 4-year-old says, in full-voice (because kids know nothing about voice modulation especially when they're about to light you up) "Hey, Daddy, we're the only Black People in here."
Of course at this moment the other 5,6 people in the aisle (all white) look at us, and everybody gets that "I really want to bust out laughing but it's too awkward a moment so I'm going to stare more intently at this can opener" look.
Me? After realizing the Walmart floor would not just open up and swallow me whole (as I wanted) just pushed on, proud of my daughter's Jesse Jackson moment, but hoping she'd wait a while for the next one.
other similar stories?...

Good one!
This isn't an embarrassing story (well, I'm a little embarrassed to tell it now), but a several cute ones (I promise I"ll be brief).
When we started potty-training my daughter, she was probably about 2 years old. Daddy decided that we should purchase pull-ups (which I thought was a waste of money, but I digress) to help in the training process. One Sunday afternoon, I was folding clothes and just happened to have a pair of daddy's undies. In a cute little baby girl voice, she asks, "Mommy, are those daddy's pull-ups?"
2nd cute story: After being childless for about 7 years, we had to get used to closing doors and such when our curious child was in the area. One day my little one came to me and said "Mommy, daddy has a tail. I saw daddy's tail." I'm thinking that she saw his rear end, so I asked her where did she see daddy's tail. She pointed at the front of her body, and then it dawned on me what she saw. Needless to say from that point on, daddy made sure that the bathroom door was shut tight when he went in!

Interesting note:
The German word for tail is "schwanz", and it is also slang for the "male anatomy"
So if your daughter had said schwanz instead of tail, she would have been shockingly correct.

My turn
Picture it, December 9, 1987.
I had came home from school and I was dead tired, so I went straight to bed and it was one of these deep sleeps too. When I woke up and saw the clock, it was 7:40. I panicked, thinking I had overslept and missed my bus for school (which leaves at 6:50 am, and in December it would be still dark outside). I jump out of bed and run downstairs shouting, "Mom, Mom! Write me a note for school 'cause I am late!" Mom looks at me and tells me to slow down. I keep panicking and saying, "But Mom, I'm late!" Then I notice Double Dare was on TV and realized that it was 7:40 PM not 7:40 AM; I had only been asleep about 4 1/2 hours!
Part II, Spring 1991.
I was asleep in bed, then I woke up and looked at the clock and it reads 7:15 (AM), I again panic and jump out of bed, pounding on Mom's bedroom door with the same spiel. Again Mom tells me to calm down and to go back to sleep (I read my non-digital clock wrong, it was not 7:15 AM, it was 5:15 AM)
Deja vu like a mammajamma

Not again...
I had to search for this thread to post my recetn embarrasing moment.
Okay, I have these sharp shoes. They're basic black, but they look really good with my suits I wear to work. Anyway, mine are about half a size too big, but not enough to cause any discomfort.
Anyway, I work in the downtown area of a major metropolis, so I have to walk a few blocks from the parking garage to my actual building. Well, I had on those sharp shoes, the ones about half a size too big. I'm running a little late for work, so I'm speedwalking to work. I get an intersection just as the light begins to blink don't walk. Well, I've got to get to the office, so I just speedwalk across the intersection not caring if I make the light or not.
Just then, my always comfy and sharp shoe, flies off of my foot. I don't mean I stepped out a little. I mean, I had to go over about four feet to retreive my shoe from the middle of the road. By this time the light had turned completely red, so oncoming traffic begins to blow at me for standing in the middle of the street trying to put my shoe on.
Moral of the story...wear gym shoes to work and change when you get to the office.

Still embarassed?
Okay its like the first week of Junior High & I am trying to be cute, as usual. All my girlfriends wore jeans this particular day but we I had on the cutest lil tennis skirt and my brand new FILA's. Anyway the grass in the area of the school is roped off to prevent folks from walking on it but as typical kids we do it anyway. I say to my friends "I better not climb over the rope b/c I may fall with my skirt on and I am not able to lift my legs too high" Everyone convinces me otherwise. So here I go, across the ropes. The whole time I'm on the grass, I'm saying "it would be too funny if I fell tryna cross the next rope outta here" No joke I said this like 5 times. Low & behold crossing the next rope I not only fell but slid all the way to the front entrance of the school. Tennis skirt way up in the air!!! To top it off all the boys yell out "safe" as I stopped sliding. I was tooooooo pissed.
Cute Kid Story:
Shopping in the grocery store with my cousin and his son after a long day of Mother's day shopping in the mall. All of a sudden his 3 yr old runs up to us with the biggest bag of Stayfree Maxi Pads ever made screaming "Daddy daddy I found mommy's gift. She loves these things. I know I see her buy them all the time." We tried to no avail to convince him that it wasnt a good gift. But the kid threw a temper tantrum screaming in the middle of the grocery store "Mommy loves these!!!!" So of course his wife was shocked as heck when she opened her gift. Yall know he had to wrap them hisself too.

Okay, this one is from a couple of months ago, my boyfriend came into town so i wanted to show him the night life. So i parked behind The cheesecake factory in buckhead. He asked why was my car the only one back there, i told him because it cost 20-40 dollars to park so i always park here and nothing ever happens, dont worry everything will be fine. so we left and came back because i forgot something like 10 minutes later and OMG, my car was gone, i thought someone stole it so i did a police report and everything come to find out i walked down the street alllll the way at the end it says do not park your car will be towed and the sign was really smaller than a piece of paper and the towing place was about 45 minutes away from where it was towed from.
I was really embarrased in front of my boyfriend whose only response was "i told you so" UGHH
