"Due?!?" "When am I due?!?" " What the hell?" "Is this really happening to me?!?" (I wondered these exact things, during the 15 seconds of complete silence. I could feel the eager anticipation that was building like electricity in the room, as 60 eyes turned upon me and waited with baited breathe for my response.)
You could hear a f*&%ing pin drop as the hustle and bustle in the room completely stopped.
I ran the scenarios (in my head).
Should I break out into dance and do the Can-Can as I high kick my way out of the room?
Should I pretend that I didn't hear the compliment and questioning from my dear friend?
Could I quickly conjure a spell out of thin air, which would evoke the floor I was standing on to teleport me straight to another dimension?
Plan A, B, and C weren't likely to work...so I exercised Plan D. (The likes of which were just as monumental as Plan A and Plan C would've been if implemented, I might add.)
I hope "my most embarrassing story" has brought a chuckle and a smile to your face today.
I share it, with the hopes that no one will be offended by it and instead, choose to laugh at my situation.
As embarrassed and as humiliated as I was, I fully acknowledge that there are millions of people who don't have enough to eat on this planet. I am damn lucky that I was born in Canada and as a result have the opportunity to eat and change my habits whenever I feel like it.
