Embarrassing childhood stories.

[loverippedaway]

Here are some various ones...from back in the day alright...here we go.

When I was 2 or 3 I had gone to a local amusment park, and there was this skeleton that really seemed to intrest me, so when I got back to my house there was some kind of event going on...Anyway my uncle was there, this guy is a character and he said "Andrew, what do you want to be when you grow up?" and I answer "I want to be a skeleton." He smirked for a moment then said "I'm afried you don't have any choice anyway." Everyone at the time found it quite funny...I still hate when they bring it up every thanksgiving.

Age 11-12 at my friends birthday party.

It was my friends birthday and he had invited the entire class over. I really liked a girl from class so i thought that it was the perfect time to impress her a little. So i kept my eyes open for a little alone time and the perfect opportunity came when somebody suggested a little game of hide and seek and she was choosen as one of those that had to search for the rest of us.
I found a very obvious place for her to look which was under a small bush. What i didn´t know was that i had comfortably laid myself in some dog shit.
Well she goes straight for the bush and finds me and i thought GREAT and jumped up. My pants were covered in dog shit and obviously she didn´t find it very attractive. Soon everybody came over and laughed at my little accident and my chances with the girl were long gone.

After the laughter had died out then i needed some alone time and went over to sit near another bush. Well once more i planted myself in dog shit and i were not allowed back inside my friends house.

True story.

yimou that's a classic! If only you'd gotten the girl to sit in the dog shit as well, maybe you could've spent some quality time together locked outside the house.

True

Well maybe six months later she did end up being the first girl i ever kissed,, So dont let dog shit ruin your motivation.

I must have been around 9 or 10...old enough to know better. I was an extremely innocent child and since I have a laid back family that during the summer was known to walk around naked when skinny dipping, or just getting changed to go swimming, I had no idea that there was anything embarassing about it.

Well, I was in my cabin at camp, changing out of my swimming clothes. I realised that I had left my towel outside on the line. There was no one around so I thought I'd run out quickly to get it and run back in again. Unfortunately there was a group of kids coming that I didn't see, and I think they were boys.

I hear "OMG there's a naked girl over there! Get her!!" I nearly died and I ran around to the back of the cabin and hid. I have no idea why they didn't follow or find me, but eventually the coast was clear and I went back in. I learned a major lesson that day.

Ugh, it still makes me sick to my stomach remembering it.

Ok I know this post was made a long time ago, but it definitely gave me pause. This is a funny coming of age story on the one-hand but on the other it's very chilling.

Firstly, as you mentioned there's a loss of innocence here. You describe yourself as a free-flowing, expressive person who feels no shame about her body. To have that snatched away in a millisecond because of a few rowdy boys is horrible.

Second, I imagine this was your first sexual experience? Obviously there was no physical contact, but a group of boys seeing you butt naked is certainly a kind of sexual exploration, although absolutely not intended.

Lastly, and this was the part that chilled me while reading, if the boys had chased and caught you.... what then? Fortunately they didn't, but I got flashes of rape stories where a man chases his victim down and forces himself on her. When the boys yelled "Get Her" is when I felt uneasy. Given how young you were I'm sure it would've just been playful teasing, but who knows, you might've carried many many MANY additional memories had they decided to chase you.

Why do you think they didn't chase you? How far were you from them when they spotted you nude?
