I'm totally cracking up at all your stories! Laughter is truly the best medicine!

I crouched down to stroke my MIL’s little yorkie. It immediately started sniffing right between my legs and I couldn’t stop it. Worse was to come as I then accidentally did a loud fart on its head! ??

When my children were small and I was teaching them to read, I can remember standing in my local post office and when I was asked my name spelt it out to them as if they were 5- years old using the sounds of those letters.

Another time back in the early 1970's going into a small sub-post office with my 3-ear old son. It was pension day and there was some delay so the place was crowded with old people. One had an equally old, large dog who was sitting down panting. My son - in his very clear toddler voice looked at the dog and exclaimed 'Hasn't he got an enormous penis!!!' Back then, many older people considered it almost swearing for such words to be used. Horrified expressions all round and I left without having transacted what I had gone in for.

Dashing off to work only to be told by my friend and colleague half way through the morning that I was wearing odd shoes! Same style just one black and one brown. Not too bad I suppose, I said I had another pair the same at home!

Without doubt it was calling out the fire brigade in a moment of panic. My oven was on fire and the kitchen full of smoke. My son screaming and insisting I call the fire brigade. I did and then after realised I couldn't un-call them. I tried but the call handler said they had already set off (they always have to check anyway).I remember hearing the sirens approaching and wanting the ground to swallow me. My son had run off.
They came out of the engines (yes, they sent two!) in full breathing gear and I just wanted to die.
They marched into the kitchen and opened the oven;
'I think it's the garlic bread.' I said in a very weak voice,
'That's not garlic bread,' the fireman said, inspecting the cinders, 'that's a ciabatta!'
They took it in good part and soon left but I was mortified. My son didn't come home for hours.

Am I the only person to have walked the entire length of my high street with my skirt tucked into my knickers. Oh the shame!
Laughed so much yesterday at the thread about the man masquerading as a kitty ? on zoom.
Got me wondering. What's your most embarrassing moment? Have great day all.
