I Could Have Just Died (Most Embarrassing Moment)

I haven't done a writing prompt from Mama Kat's Workshop, so when I saw that one of the prompts was to tell an embarrassing story I thought I just had to share. Hopefully, this will lift your day as it usually seems to get a good chuckle out of my friends and family.


I don't usually embarrass easily, I contribute it to the fact that I am silly and usually like to do weird things. I have also stated that I like to be completely honest with people. There is a kind of freedom that comes with transparency.

The day seemed like any other. We had gone to my mother in laws house to pick up Abbie, she was only a couple years old at the time. Any trip to my mother in laws house is not a quick one, and usually I don't mind it. I went and sat on her front porch to "catch some fresh air", which was my code for smoking a cigarette. (I am so glad that I am finally free from that addiction.) As I sat there I noticed how beautiful it was outside. The sun was shining but not too brightly that it would blind me, the light breeze swept through the trees, and even the birds seemed to be chirping a little louder. It was a perfect day. Suddenly I felt the sharp pain of a gas bubble in my stomach. Since I was outside all alone I was free to fart. So I leaned slightly to the right to relieve my discomfort. Suddenly, I realized that it was not just a regular fart. I quickly clinched my cheeks in hope to prevent a disaster. I hopped up and wobbled quickly into my mother in laws bathroom. As I slammed the bathroom door, I heard my mother in law begin to say, "What's going on? Are you ok Faith? Alvin go check on your wife." I was mortified. My husband came to the bathroom door and asked what happened. I couldn't tell him because I knew that he would start cracking up and would end up blowing my cover. "Get Abbie in the car, Now! We have to go," I shouted from inside the bathroom.  "Faith, what happened? What's wrong?", Alvin replied. "Get her in the car NOW! We have to go!", I replied back becoming more frustrated than embarrassed.
Alvin got her in the car and let me know that we could leave. I asked him to tell me when the coast was clear but with all the action, his mother and his brothers stood in the hallway curious. I walked straight out of the bathroom and into the car without a single word to them.  Alvin began to ask what was happening but I could feel more trouble on its way, so I told him to slam on the gas and go. After we made it home I told Alvin and he cracked up. He thought it was hilarious that I had pooped on myself at his moms house. It took years for me to trust my farts and even to today I still can not fart in anywhere near my mother in law.

This would have had to be the most embarrassing thing that happened to me... Even more embarrassing than going to a crushes pool party and accidentally leaving my underwear, granny panties none-the-less, there.

I hope you all enjoyed this little break from the stresses of today. I am so glad that I am finally at a point that I can look back and laugh.

God Bless,
Faith
