I was young when this happened, about 8 years old I would say. And as usual, my father drops me off at school in his car. Only, since I had been in a hurry that morning, I appear to have forgotten to put on my shoes. So I'm standing there, in front of the school, wearing these ugly blue slippers, feeling mighty stupid.
I've also done the reverse thing. On a field trip to a childrens playground, I got into one of those big rooms with lots of plastic balls in them. I loved those. So I take off my shoes to get in, and when getting back out again, I put on another kids shoes. Not on purpose, mind you. They looked very much alike. Now, it turns out these shoes were way too large for me - but I was too busy enjoying myself to really notice. The other kid had to walk around barefooted all day long - since he couldn't fit into mine. On the bus back home, he noticed me wearing his shoes. Come to think of it - everybody probably noticed, since they were almost falling off. So I came back home barefooted. My parents weren't even that surprised. They kind of knew already.
I once forgot to tell my parents I was going on a field trip until one hour before the bus left. They had to phone up everybody they knew, whilst they were having breakfast, to find someone who could still get me an apple (we had to bring one). Quite embarassing.
And more... many more. Too many to remember.
