I once got food poisoning in the Hong Kong airport from eating a danish with some fruit on it that must have gone bad. I was waiting in Korea to go through passport control, feeling sicker and sicker the whole time. When it was my time, I rushed through, pushed my passport at the officer and threw up all over the floor on the far side. All the passport control officers thought it was pretty funny. That was pretty embarrassing, although it makes a good story now.
That’s often how life works: the worse a situation, the better story it makes later on. Today’s prompt is to write about an embarrassing situation. It doesn’t have to stem from real life, although real life is great inspiration for such things. 😊

Where would I start. The kid who ran over to give me my thong that fell from my laundry bag would be a good place.
I love the embarrassed elephant who could never forget anything he might wish he hadn’t done. The graphics just get better and better. 🙂
