Most Embarrasing Moments

We normally hate situations that have an embarrassing feeling. I’ve had my share of them—once, twice, thrice, huh! Well, coming to the moments that changed my life, they never changed my behavior, but they did kill my principles one by one, which became my embarrassing moments. It all started in the 3rd grade, when I had a clean reputation. But just one innocent mistake changed everything. We had to pay 15 rupees for a calendar at school every year, so my mom gave me the money. However, I spent 1.25 rupees on pineapple pieces, which I loved. My teacher threw my remaining money (13.75 rupees) in front of me and said, “This won’t do; you have to pay 15 rupees.” After school, my mom came to pick me up as usual. At that time, my teacher explained the situation to her, and I tried to explain that I just spent the money on pineapple because I wanted to eat it. In return, my mom told my tuition teacher, who was also our school teacher, and she beat me with a stick while calling me a “thief.” That name stayed with me for another three years. It didn’t matter in the grand scheme of things, but it did matter whenever I made a mistake—I was always the first to be pointed out in that teacher’s mind. So embarrassing!!!!
