Embarassing things

[UcfRentLuvr at cs.com]

I know you're all just going to laugh at me, but I feel the need to get this 
all of my chest. Ok, here goes. :)  In the two weeks, I have two embarassing 
things happen to me. 

The first incident: 
Every year, as a tradition, we hang our stockings up on Dec 5 and, on the 
feast day of St. Nicholas (Dec 6) my mom always puts stuff in our stockings. 
She usually puts little things like candy or keychains, stuff like that. 
Well, this year, she gave us Silly Putty that came in a little Santa 
container. My brother takes his out and starts pressing it on the newspaper 
to see the pictures and stuff. Well, the smartie that I am, put the Silly 
Putty on our remote controller to see if the buttons would make a mark on the 
putty. (*wails* Why in the world did I choose the remote? Why? I think it was 
because I happened to be holding it at the time) Anyways...the Silly Putty 
got stuck....majorly. I got the bulk of it off but a lot of it was still 
stuck on the buttons. Plus, the putty is neon pink. So, before anyone could 
see, I ran to my room and began trying to scrape the putty off the buttons. 
Took forever!! It took so long in fact, that I just gave up and hid the 
remote in my sock drawer. So by now, everyone thinks the remote is missing 
and I play along with the game. The next day, I manage to scrape the rest of 
the stuff off but I didn't want to just take the remote out and put it back 
in the living room because then I would be giving my brother the satisfaction 
that I did "steal" the remote instead of leaving it on the couch like I said. 
;) (It's the whole pride thing lol) So I waited until everyone had gone to 
bed and his the remote back in the couch. However, by that time, everyone had 
given up on searching for the remote and now I have to find a way to "find" 
the remote without incriminating myself, even though I am the guilty one. All 
because I am stupid and should never had touched Silly Putty in the first 
place. *shakes head*

Second incident: (Which happened yesterday)
The kitchen is a mess but because my mom has to go out, she asks me to load 
the dishwasher. This is something I've done a million times. You'd think I'd 
know how to do it, right? Wrong! My brother happened to be on the phone at 
the time I was doing this and was in the way of the cupboard where we keep 
the dishwasher soap. Not really paying attention (key words there), I grabbed 
what I assumed was the dishwasher soap. Did I grab the right stuff? No! But I 
wasn't paying attention so I filled up that little thing in the dishwasher 
and turned it on. Five minutes later I hear my brother shouting for me to get 
in the kitchen. The dishwasher is spilling out soap all over the floor. 
Instead of the dishwasher soap, I used the liquid soap for cleaning dishes in 
the sink. You all know what happens when that soap mixes with water right? It 
gets all bubbly. So know there are bubbles on the floor--not a lot but 
still--and the dishwasher is practically flooded. So I had to call my mom and 
she said to just let it be--if the bubbles sat long enough they'd pop and it 
would be okay. Well....this evening, about 20 minutes ago, we all decide it's 
safe to run the dishwasher again. (Plus, we have next to no clean dishes 
left.) We run it and there are even *more* bubbles and suds all over the 
floor. *lets out a frustrated sigh*

Does anyone else out there have any embarassing stories so I don't feel 
alone? :)
