What a wonderfully funny, embarrassing moment to share, although I'm afraid it teaches more about those of us with the male chromosome than I would wish (the teenage boy I can understand, but the dad too?). Fred H Schlegel’s last blog post..Shaking Up the MBA | Dirty Fingernails Entrepreneurship

Emma, I cringed with you and laughed with you. I am so sorry for the embarrassing moment but delighted in the retelling of the story. That poor silly boy, it's always amazing to me that even adults are sometimes too embarrassed to point out that you've done something quite stupid and instead let you walk around in utter oblivion making a spectacle of yourself.

God, Emma, I so, so, get this. I don’t think I ever had a ‘war-paint’ moment like yours, but I do have equally cringe-making occasions in my past, memories of which can still make me squirm.

Thank goodness for husbands who love us just the way we are!

Emma, a good story told in a wonderful way! "...whose war paint had been applied by a drunken elder" - I can see it before my very eyes. There are quite some blog posts I only scan - yours I read word for word, and line after line. Some paragraphs I read out loud, because of the beauty of the written word. Thanks for sharing!

I gotta say, Emma – that’s probably one date that teenage boy is STILL talking about!

Still, you make a good point about finding out who laughs AT you and who laughs WITH you.

A tip o’ the hat to ya for the WILF entry!
