That would surely be the most embarrassing moment of my life.Ģ Intro/Conclusion Mirror the introduction with the conclusion.ĭon’t repeat the introduction! Mirroring is saying something similar, with some of the same elements – creates a sense of familiarity for the reader!įrom the parking lot, I could see the towers of the castle of the Magic Kingdom standing stately against the blue sky.
I fervently hope that I shall never meet this girl face to face in the present. Often do I wonder how that girl must have felt as the jeers and catcalls of an undisciplined mob cascaded around her. My embarrassment today, however, stems from the realization that never was I so cruel and heartless as I was at that auction some thirty years ago. Looking back at this event with an aged eye, an eye steeped in a broth of maturity and experience, I find that I am still embarrassed. I was mortified, horrified, embarrassed, and downright shocked at the prospect of attending a school dance with the Beast of Babcock High. Embarrassed isn't really the word I want here. Anyway, lucky me, old "parrot-beak" (as we sometimes called her), with a great deal of fanfare and flourish, picked me as the slob of the hour and plunked down good money to confirm her choice. She was so ugly, in fact, that we-my school compadres and I-used the word "ooglay" to refer to her: a word that connotes outright, without-a-doubt nasti ness in the looks department. There was, you see, a particular girl attending said school who was very ugly. The red-faced moment occurred during a Sadie Hawkin's Day auction. Later in life, I found out that if I had to do it, doing it with girls had its advantages. Nothing of the sort! It was just that I had to do it with girls.
I remember it well because it concerned an event that I deeply feared I would encounter during my formative years: a high school dance. One of these moments happened in high school during my junior year. Some of the most embarrassing have occurred while I was attending school. 1 OOGLAY! I've had a great many embarrassing moments in my life.
