Most Embarrassing Moment
Here's a little background - before I tell this tale.
My Mother and I were very close - we knew each other well!
We did a lot of things together - and had loads of fun!
Whether in a Movie theatre - or out in the gorgeous sun.
We gathered a bunch of friends together and went on a camping trip.
I did not know then - that here is where I'd make my slip.
We got everything set up - and had our evening meal.
After cleaning up, talking and laughing - it was time for some sleep to steal.
The next morning most everyone was up and drinking coffee.
Threw on my shoes - but they weren't where they should be!
So I took a moment to switch them - but something wasn't right!
Headed off for that coffee - maybe that would improve my sight.
As I got closer to the group someone asked my why I was wearing 2 left shoes?
Where was he awhile ago - with this earth shattering news?
Since my Mom and I had the same color and style of shoes that weekend.
I had apparently put on 2 left shoes - to this day how I managed to do that - I still can't comprehend!
Footnote: We had shared a tent together (Mom, Dad, and I) and she had brought an extra pair of shoes which she was wearing when I got up to grab that coffee -and I am still teased about it to this very day.
