How Embarrassing
While he
was sitting on the side of the road, Mikey saw the farmer walking along the new
fence. He got out of his car, wanting to
apologize. After they shook hands and
Mikey apologized, Mikey said, “A school principal is supposed to set a good
example. I couldn’t be more
embarrassed.”
The farmer
said, “When I was a young man I got it into my head I was gonna let the air out
of the school bus tires. The buses were
kept behind a high chain-link fence topped with barbed wire next to a trucking
company. When I went over the top, my belt
caught and I fell. I was hanging by my feet, naked from the waist down, for the
better part of four hours. Fire trucks came. Do you remember the old Polaroid
cameras? Somebody took pictures and passed them around school.” He chuckled,
and added, “Everybody does something embarrassing.”
Today
I will remember I'm not the only one who's done something embarrassing.
