Because I Have No Shame
I tend to embarrass myself when I get together with friends. And, no, alcohol doesn't even have to be involved, though it does help speed up the embarrassment factor.Take tonight for example.
The scene: friend's house for dinner with two other couples. No booze served until after dinner, once self-embarrassment was well under way.
First episode: Victoria is being silly, relaxing with friends after a heinous first day back at work after a nice long, lazy vacation. The subject of the dreaded South comes up and she immediately remembers the deplorable four years spent in Baton Rouge. The subject turns to southern food to which she pipes, "I'm just not into sucking heads."
Dead silence...then laughter...a few seconds pass before she realizes how this came out. Blushing commences.
Second episode: VW notices that after several hours of silliness and self-embarrassment, Huz is getting that Oh-My-God-I-So-Don't-Know-Who-This-Woman-Sitting-Next-To-Me-Is look on his face and she asks him if he still loves her. He answers the obligatory "Yes honey, of course," adding that when Victoria gets tired and silly she tends to revert to a 13 year-old. Unaffected she retorts, "Well, I just have a child inside of me!"
Dead silence...then laughter...a few seconds pass before she realizes how this came out. Blushing commences.
End Scene.
But, hey, at least this fine company I embarrassed myself in front of taught me how to say "horny as ape tits" in German! |
