Since the other "Embarrassing stories" topic is more tha two years old (and dead.) I decided to start up a new one. Except you can put stories (real ones) or tell about a time you came close to being publicly embarrassed.
Here are the stories of the close calls I've had. They only happened a few weeks apart from each other. (Both during the summer break after I finished 5th grade.) :
First story: I was on a field trip to the local pool with A-OK (a summer program) and I was wearing loose swimming trunks. They weren't falling when I was walking around, so I thought it was safe to go off the diving board. I got up there and did a dive. when I was half way to the bottom, I felt my trunks go down to my ankles. I pulled 'em up underwater, and came up out of the water and got out of the pool.. I'm so glad I noticed.
2nd Story: A few weeks later I was on a trip to the beach in Cali with my grandparents and little brother. I still had the trunks I had almost lost at the pool. My brother and I were on boogey boards. We didn't know it, but we were out where the surfers were. I saw my grandma trying to tell my bro and I something. I go to yell "What?!" but before I could get the "Wha-" outta my mouth, I feel myself lifting up. I hear my brother yellin' "Oh crud!!" I look back and see this huge wave coming over me. I go under. I come up gasping and spitting (cause I got water in my mouth) I open my eyes and see my boogey board is detached from my wrist. I swim back to get. I grab the string thats attached to the board and velcro strap that goes on my wrist. As soon as I grab it, however, another huge-a** wave wipes me out. I was holding the string with all my might. the board was above water, I was being dragged below the water by the wave and board (stomach on the floor...or water you wanna call the dirt uner the water.) As I said my stomach was being dragged along...so was everything down. I felt my trunks go all the way down, almost completely off. I had one foot holding on to the trunks so they wouldn't be washed away. I only brought my head up when I was able (I had almost drowned during the 2nd wipeout.) I kinda sat-squatted and pulled my trunks back on. I don't know what I would've done if the tide stripped me completley.
