These days, I just sit back and remember some of the memories that made me laugh or cry. And honestly, some of them? Hmmm.

So, I’m thinking of doing a little series about the shege I saw before I met my husband.

You know how back in the day, when you started talking to someone new, there was always that fun question: “What’s your most embarrassing moment?”

I don’t think I can remember enough to rank them, but there’s one I will never forget.

Back in secondary school, I had this HUGE crush on one guy. I thought he was the one.

Why? Because we came from the same state and had the same birthday date. Interesting, right?

In my head, that was enough evidence. We could literally pass for twins.

But tell me why, on this fateful day, this guy was standing outside his classroom, chatting with his friend just after our afternoon prep was over.

And just like I had seen in the movies, I decided to strut.

Walk that walk, girl!

Only for me to end up inside the gutter, right in front of him and his friend.

As if that wasn’t bad enough, this guy laughed SO HARD. He was pointing at me, bending over, holding his stomach. This was not ordinary laughter, please.

Sigh.

I had to pick myself up and rush back to my class.

Best believe I cried. I was that embarrassed.

Smh. I wonder if that incident contributed to the crazy shyness I had back then.

Anyway, a little tip from me: Never attempt to do a catwalk close to a gutter in front of the guy you like. You never know how that story will end.

And that’s just my two cents.

To be continued…? 👀
