Humble pie with a side of ba-donk-a-donk.
November20
Earlier today, I found myself walking across the college campus in our town where our volunteers and leaders go to school. As I watched their cute 19 year old selves flounce around, I suddenly felt a little pride in my outfit for the day, a black dress with jean jacket, cute black heels and some reach-the-heavens-high hair. I’m as cute as them even if I’m not in college anymore, I thought to myself.
And that’s when a sweet freshman girl walked right up to me and said “Ma’am? Your dress? Um, it’s tucked into your panties.”
And that, ladies and… well, ladies, is how God keeps me humble.
Oh my…every woman’s worst nightmare.
Good of God to keep us in our place, but I’m sorry it happened to you!!
Awww! Isn’t it funny how God works? *sigh* that sounds like something that would happen to me
Bless your sweet heart! God has brought me down a notch or two before, too, so I totally understand.
Which is worse: exposing your underwear or being called “ma’am?”
Oh, NO. Oh, I’m sorry.
I actually gasped.
Big question is: what kind of panties? Wait, don’t answer.
I once lost my skirt in the aisle of an airplane wearing a g-string. Oh yeah.
If that is real, that is the best story EVER!
I have to agree with Ronnica, I’m not sure which is worse, exposing yourself, or being called ma’am.
NOOOOOOO!!! I am so sorry.
Oh. Oh no. OH NO. That is just…wow.
I’m sorry, but…
BWAAA HA HA HA HA HA!
Oh, AB, how could we make it through the day without your humor.
Thanks for keepin’ it real.
let me just tell you- i was having a really bad day until i read this and got a giggle! i know you don’t think it’s funny but let me tell you- this happened to me too!!! omgosh.
LOL
XOXOXO
NO! Oh my. You poor thing!!
Please tell me that at least they were cute undies!?
You always make me laugh….. Sorry if it’s at your expense, but if these things didn’t happen, what would you have to blog about?
Ok, so we had a new girl start at my job just a couple months ago, and on her VERY first day I happened to be wearing a skirt that I love, love, love. Well, I had come out of the restroom and went back up front to my desk to grab some papers for the bossman and she says, “Uhh… Tonyia… your skirt is tucked into your panties.” Oh, I could have died. I told her I thought we’d get to know each other but not so quickly! Just glad she caught me BEFORE I made it to the bossman!
Oh, you just come here to me and let me give you a hug. Bless your heart!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! Have you recovered?? Oh, bless your heart.
ouch, awkward. that is seriously a huge fear of mine– glad you survived it!!!!
Oh my goodness. I had to laugh, but I’m really sorry too.
Isn’t that funny how life can bite,,,seriously,,,I laughed, but that so bad!!!hugs to you girl,,,,,:)
leigh-nc
Ronnica beat me to it – I was thinking “I bet she died when that girl said “ma’am”!!!!
Ask Roomie about her similar story…makes me laugh every time.
if it’s any consolation, i had my own humble pie moment on monday! in french class, the guy who sits in front of me accidentally knocked my phone off of my desk and it scooted to the right of me. i tried with all my might to use my foot to maneuver it closer, but no cigar. then i decided i would use my trusty vera bradley key-pouch, lean over my desk, and use it to push the phone back to me. such a bad idea. i fell completely over while still sitting in my desk. thankfully it was at the end of class, but my pride was still a little bruised! you’d think a sophomore in college would have moved passed these clumsy incidents…
I literally snorted out loud! Oh dear… and how old did it make you feel to have her call you ma’am? Yikes!
You know you’re from the south when the majority of these comments say “Bless Your Heart”
but oooohhhh dear. Congratulations. You have passed the test with flying colors, you may now move on to the bigger and better world of forgetting important articles of clothing entirely!
That is the best title for a post EVER! I mean I hate that it happened to you (umm I did laugh, just a little though!) But that title=priceless!
OH AmyBeth….. bless your sweet heart! At least she has the courtesy to tell you!!
Only you AB! However I had a slice of my own humble pie this week… I had a student teacher observing me so I was trying to stay on my “A game”. I had my Smartboard going… I am walking across the frontback and forth when all of a sudden I get tangled up in the chords/stand… you guessed it! Fell flat on my buttt… sprawling on all four. Knee bruised, ankled skent up. Good thing I was able to join in my stydent’s laughter.
Aren’t you glad someone told you!!?? My mom teaches at a university, and walked ALL THE WAY across campus until finally A AGUY got up the courage to tell her. She must have passed by 50 or 60 girls, and not one of them said anything.
Bless your heart!

wow…that’s hilarious! glad you can laugh at yourself, it makes life much more enjoyable!
wow…big fat props to the freshman chicky for giving you the good word…and I’m sure that after some adjustments you were just as cute as can be!
Ronnica took the words right out of my fingers.
I bet you handled it with the utmost class. Love yourself… God does.
HAHAHAHA!!!!
GET. OUT.
HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! I love it. That would so be me.
I really don’t feel 43. Sometimes I forget that I’m not the same age as the younger ones that we minister to.
Humble pie…yes, I’ve had a few slices myself.
Nice to ‘meet’ you!
