Every one of us has experienced a “red face” moment or two in our lifetime, what’s your most embarrassing moment? Let me tell you about mine…well one of mine.

Several years ago my husband and I decided to take a late night drive to McDonalds. I had not been feeling well, so I decided to go in my pajamas, a furry pink robe and brown boots. It seemed like a good idea at the time but turned out to be a very bad choice.

After our stop at McDonald’s we were leaving town, chatting like we normally do and my husband got a little distracted and ran through a stop sign. A truck coming from the other direction hit us, sending my husband’s head into the steering wheel. It wasn’t long before the police and paramedics showed up, each one of them giving me strange looks. I explained to everyone that I wasn’t feeling well and decided it was such a short trip that I just wanted to stay in my PJ’s and be comfortable, after all…what could happen. I went over it again and again in my head while riding in the squad with my husband. If only I had put on some pants instead of this pink furry robe. I just started to settle down when we arrived at the emergency room, where once again, everyone was staring at me. At this point, I had no shame. I loudly announced that we wanted a snack from McDonalds, I didn’t feel well, I thought it would be okay to wear my jammies, we were chatting, he didn’t stop and here we are! There, everyone knew why I was dressed in my “sleep” attire, pink furry robe and brown boots!

Everything turned out okay that night. My husband came home, our car was towed for repairs and I had a funny story to tell everyone. I learned a very valuable lesson that night. I have never gone anywhere in my jammies again, although…going to town in your pajamas is perfectly normal these days.

What turned your face red?
