Hi everyone! I am having one of those times when you remember an embarrassing moment and almost pull back into yourself ๐ the perfect “yeesh!” Moment. The time I am remembering is when I got into a stranger’s car. I can still feel my skin burning like mad remembering it ๐
It was back when I was in primary school and had just gotten picked up by my mum at the end of the day. We parked outside the newsagents around the corner and I went in to get a newspaper (and some sweets I think ๐๐) this all went smoothly, but when I went back outside I turned right, instead of left in the direction of where mum was parked. I do not know why I did this (in my defense the sun was in my eyes ๐) but I went and got in a car that I thought was ours ๐ฆ It wasn’t the fact that mum wasn’t in the driver’s seat that made me realize I was in the wrong car…no, it was the lunchbox I saw at my feet. I recognized it and it took me a matter of seconds to realize that it belonged to a girl in my class. I’m calling this post “strangers car” though because I didn’t really know the girl, or her family for that matter! The girl was probably watching me from inside the store wondering what I was bloody doing ๐ At this moment, I would like to thank the girl for not confronting me.
I’m not sure if this was before or after I knocked my head like I mentioned in my Blog-aholic Award Post, but I was pretty much all there ๐ i think the problem was if I was wearing my glasses at the time or not ๐ค๐
Anyway, back to the memory! I quickly looked up out the driver’s seat window and saw my mum gawping at me, a couple cars away and I jumped out and slowly but casually (๐ถ๐๐) walked over to my mum. At which point I ran to my passenger side and jumped in (๐๐๐ ๐) My mum told me she had watched me walk away from her to another car wondering what I was doing ๐ like I was away with the fairies ๐. I cannot remember what happened after that ๐ค I’ve walked up to allot of cars thinking they were ours (admittedly sometimes they were a completely different colour ๐๐ถ) but I have never actually gotten in and shut the bloody door behind me like I did then ๐ I’m just glad I got out of their before the girl and her family came back to their car ๐. Remembering it now, I still have an “uuurrggghh!” at the back of my throat that won’t clear until I “squeeze!!” ๐ฃ And block the memory. There we go…It’s gone! What is this embarrassing moment you speak of? ๐ฎ
Thank you for reading! ๐๐๐ Have you ever done something like this before? Please don’t say I’m the only one ๐ฆ๐
Well โ penned ๐ค๐

When I was around 6/7 in Hong Kong, I was holding what I thought.. was my grandads hand… but then I looked up and saw that it was a random man and on the other side of him was another girl my age๐ we were queuing to get into the elevator and holy crap that was so embarassing! At that time though I was super scared!!! My parents weren’t too far away from me thankfully!โค๏ธ๐ธ
Our childhood memories are always the funniest๐ค

That must have been so embarrassing! I don’t know what I would have done in that situation, probably cried, especially if I made it into the elevator before realizing ๐ what would childhood be without embarrassing moments ๐๐

Don’t worry: I still cannot tell my car apart from others and, after I pick up my kids from school, I have to use the unlock button on the car key to make my car flash from a distance so that I can find it! I’m hopeless with cars. If you ever think about starting to drive, you might like to read my post: https://sicilianmamaunsolicited.wordpress.com/2017/03/10/taming-the-driving-jitters/
