embarrassing...

Okay, so I promise you that I will be laughing while writing this whole entire post...please join me.

I was talking to my brother this weekend about some memories from when we were younger. I can remember so much...but there is certainly times that I wish to forget...

like this one...

It was Decemeber and I was about 17. My mom and I were upholding a wonderful and delicious tradition by getting some Mrs. Powell's cinnamon rolls [haven't had any? find a store and get 5!] at the Boise Town Square Mall. My dad was driving around the parking lot waiting for us [oh how he hates the mall, especially around the holidays] so we needed to be "in and out" with our cinnamon rolls! We had pre-ordered a dozen, they boxed them up, handed us the boxes, and we were on our way...a record I'm sure for two women in a mall!

As we are heading out of the mall, we hop on the escalator to hurry things up a bit...I step on first and my mom follows me...but not for long.

I don't remember exactly how the heck it happened, but about two second into the "ride" I ended up tumbling down the entire escalator....

the entire moving escalator!

cinnamon rolls flying everywhere!

I'm sure it went a little something like this...

[where the luggage comes down, imagine boxes of hot, homemade cinnamon rolls...and where the pilot runs down...imagine my mom!]

I'm sure I was beat red and full of embarrassment...probably didn't even pick up the cinnamon rolls [I don't even remember]...all I remember was begging my mom not to say a single word to my family who was waiting in the car...and if they asked why we were short on cinnamon rolls...tell them they ran out! Yep, I totally asked my mom to lie for me!
I think I lasted about 2 minutes into the ride home before we both started laughing hysterically and broke down and told the rest of my family...and nobody has ever spoken about it since...
until now!

do you have any embarrassing stories that you would just love to share?!
please tell me you do so I'm not alone!
