Anyone remember their teen years? When doing stupid things seemed to be your claim to fame. I remember the day I met my first ever boyfriend (about 60 boyfriends ago and way before the tales of Shandar lmao). I will always remember that day because I had my first most embarrassing moment 2 hours before that.
My cousin and I had been sent to boarding school in Mandeville Jamaica, oh joy...NOT!! And I decided I wanted to go into town for a bit. See it was my bright idea. I got dressed in ALL WHITE, now what possesses someone who lives in a country full of bright red dirt to dress in white? Only God above really knows.
We lived at the top of this mountain, you had to walk or catch a cab the whole way down the moutain and then you would be in town. I said "Ok lets walk, the exercise will be great" About 1/4 of the way down the hill, the cousin of that reggae singer SuperCat leans out the window and says "Hey Sexy!!" And thats all I remember. I tripped, and managed to roll from that point all the way down to the bottom of that damn mountain with my cousin chasing behind me on foot. I still can taste all that dirt and grass...lets not forget the cows I rolled past on my way down. I looked like a PigPen from Peanuts with a twist, my head looked like a cockatoo's ass.
When I got up I was the creature from the Red Planet! Red all over with Grey eyes. just as I was trying to figure out what the hell had happened. I heard laughter...........alot of laughter......... I mean screams of laughter. I had managed to put on a show for about 50 people!!! The bus stop was packed. I wanted to die. If the earth could have opened up right then, I would have gladly jumped in!! Instead I pitched straight up out the dirt like I had never fallen down. With what little dignity I had left, I managed to limp back up the mountain to home. I didn't look left or right. And headed straight into the shower, where I met my next foe...........
