As a freshman at Biola, in a student orientation group, we were asked to share our most embarrassing moment. Most people had trouble recalling an embarrassing moment. This was troubling to me because I had trouble deciding which of the thousands of moments was least incriminating. Sad . . . I know and at the time I saw this as an insecurity and I have since embraced the ridiculousness and have learned to laugh at myself. It's just part of who I am and the journey to becoming all God wants me to be.
Well I added yet another moment to my collection on Friday. I was driving to Yucaipa to camp with my family for a few days when I had to pee, so I stopped at the Coffeebean in Redlands that I love. I went to the bathroom and then decided to get an iced tea because it was 104 outside. As I stood in line to order a woman I had just passed in the hallway approached me. The look on her face spoke a thousand words and I began to panic. She whispered, "excuse me miss, but your skirt is tucked in your panties". OH MY GOODNESS, CAN I DIE NOW! You see somehow I had wondered out of the bathroom and down a hallway into the coffeebean and stood in line amongst several people, with my skirt tucked in my panties. Now we're not talking just the hem here - those people got a full shot of my pretty pink flowered undies. I told the woman, "You are my favorite person in the whole world" and I bolted out of there as quickly as possible. It's okay to laugh, like I said, I've learned to laugh at myself.
