I'm not sure if I told this before -- but it is my most embarrassing moment and I think it is funny.
I was 19 and working in downtown Seattle. To get to the bus every morning, I had to walk down a very busy 7 lane highway during rush hour. One morning, as I'm walking, a car full of Mexican men pulls up beside me. One man leans out and says, "the back, the back, you get in the back." Being the strong woman that I am, I put my hands on my hips, chin in the air and walk off saying, "I will not get in the back of your car, you leave me alone." They creep up beside me and repeat, "the back, the back, you get the back." Again, I walk off, saying more firmly, "I will not get in the back of your car, leave me alone." Of course, my heart is racing by then! They inch up beside me again. This time a different man speaks. He says, "No, the back, you look at the back." Somehow he got me to look back to find my skirt and slip tucked into my panties and my bare butt exposed for all the traffic to see!
I didn't tell that story for over 3 years I was so embarrassed! Now it is a favorite memory. It feels good to laugh at myself.
