The Embarrassment Continues…

embarrassed_sm.jpgOk, I need to recover from the embarrassment (2 months ago) of mistaking a non-pregnant teacher (Jennifer) for a very pregnant blogger (Deece). To top that off, I skied straight down Embarrassment Alley by mistaking Jennifer’s son for Deece’s daughter (Katelyn Rebecca). I tell ya, if you look in the dictionary under “embarrassment” you’d see my face and an ever-growing list of my “achievements.”

Jennifer was kind enough to point out today that while she wasn’t offended that I mistook her for Deece, she did “feel bad” because I mistook her for a 9-month pregnant woman. Ouch. Right on all counts. Jennifer also politely mentioned that it was in fact her son whom I mistaked for a girl. Ouch and ouch again.

This officially ranks worst than the time I accidentally entered the girls restroom in 7th grade. Unfortunately, those polite girls didn’t say anything and me, in my temporary flash of brilliance, wondered why “they” (the girls) were in “my” (the boys) restroom.

Thanks again for being so understanding. Yes, it is time for me to return home to Dallas to be closer to my parents and family. Saipan has made me appreciate my parents so much, especially being over 7000 miles away from them. Even more than the U.S., the idea and emphasis on family here is very strong and I am thankful for that.
