What is your most embarrassing teen moment?
Definitely when I lost my shoe during an orchestra and choir concert. Because I was in both groups, I had to run back and forth across the stage after the curtain went down. And my shoe came off and sat on the stage for about twenty minutes, while I was standing on the choir risers, balancing on one foot. My director found it and came backstage holding it up in front of the whole music department asking "Who does this belong to?" I thought I was going to die from embarrassment.
