I remember that in the second grade of primary school I had to give an
exhibition. But before, I had decided to go to the bathroom to relieve
myself. Everything was fine... the bathroom wasn't crowded or anything like that... until I looked down at the buttons on my skirt. At that age, and with an exposure that made me nervous, I didn't remember how to button my skirt correctly. I left the bathroom convinced that nothing would happen if I didn't button it up. My skirt would hold up, I thought. A few minutes later I was already standing in front of the blackboard, in front of everyone, naming the parts of the plants... stem, leaves, root... In the middle of the presentation I stiffened as I felt a tingling in my hip. So it happened. My skirt slipped to the floor. Shame clouded my vision, I couldn't even make out the faces of my friends anymore, not to mention that for a few seconds my mind went blank. My dignity was looking at me from a corner with its arms crossed with the phrase "I told you so" in its mouth. I exposed against my will and quickly sat down. Although my best friend tried to comfort me, I just wanted to disappear.
