What is your most embarrassing childhood memory??? ( Archived) (30)

Can u recall and share your most embarrassing childhood memory??

I had several really embarrassing childhood moments. I can tell one here... my bro, myself and my cousins living next door were kind of deep into tap dance and ballet. At a tap dance rehearsal I got a few steps all wrong and when the rest of the line stepped back I stepped forward and fell flat on my face.

Hi DD Just thought I'd add MY 2 cents ti your thread. This ISN'T really embarrassing, and I was too young to be embarrassed anyway, but

From what I’ve heard, this incident took place somewhere in Delaware. And I was still young enough that I was sleeping in a crib. (Which FACT plays a crucial part, in this story.) I have no idea of my age, at the time these events occurred. If I ever heard, I don’t remember, now. But I must have been in the neighborhood of one year old. (Probably a little younger.) And the “myth” goes like this.

My parents, and my sister and I, were living in a house, in Delaware, USA. (I have no idea what city or area.)

My parents started waking up to find a mess on the kitchen counter tops. Two bowls, in which my mother kept her sugar and her butter, were being dragged out of their places and pawed through on the kitchen counter..

They couldn’t tell whether any of the sugar or butter had been eaten, or not. (But they COULD detect that it must have been a small child, as they didn’t believe that any dwarfs or leprechauns were living it the neighborhood! The malefactor had left small fingerprints in the butter!) Some of which was now spread around the kitchen counter top, which “I” only heard described as a “BIG mess”!

Well, because I was still sleeping in a crib, they accused and punished my sister, who was already able to walk and talk, and slept in a normal bed, for this crime! (At the time of these occurrences, I hadn’t yet learned to walk. I was young enough that I was still in my “crawling” stage, and sleeping in a crib.)

This was all fine and good – EXCEPT THAT – punishing my sister did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to deter these almost nightly forays into my mother’s sugar and butter!

So my parents kept blaming and punishing my sister for the BAD behavior. But this continued to happen over a period of months! (I have no idea how long, or if my parents ever said.)

Well, to shorten this tale a bit, one morning, my parents woke up to find the sugar and butter all over the counter tops, AGAIN!

But THIS TIME, there was ONE SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE from all the previous occurrences! Right there in the middle of the mess, THEY FOUND A DIAPER! Well, my sister was beyond the age of wearing diapers, at the time. So my parents went to my crib, to check on me. And what they found was ME, in my birthday suit, sleeping soundly!

So they became convinced that I MUST BE the culprit! Regardless of the “fact” that I SUPPOSEDLY WASN'T able to get out of my crib!

So these events got passed on to ALL my relatives, as evidence of my “ingenuity”. (I guess? ) ) My parents just hadn’t conceived that, at MY age, I was able to figure out NOT ONLY how to get out of my crib! BUT HOW TO CRAWL BACK INTO it, TOO! And my understanding that I could employ a chair, as an intermediary step, which would allow me to reach the counter top! And thus, make my ravaging of the poor sugar and butter bowls possible! (I STILL make sugar and butter sandwiches to this day!)

The one thing that I have never heard mentioned, but which peaks my curiosity, is that – APPARENTLY – I must have been cleaning myself up (SOMEHOW – probably licking all the evidence off), because apparently my mother had never detected any of the sugar or butter, that would have been evidence against me, on or about me! OR my crib!

Whatever they did, to compensate my sister for all the wrongful punishment, has never been revealed. Luv ya all J
