    An embarrassing situation

    Have you ever found yourself in such an embarrassing situation that you dreamed of getting
    out of it?Well ,it happens to me often but there is a situation that particularly troubled me
    and it happened 3 or 4 years ago at the middle school when the report cards were handed in
    .I don’t know why i always feel anxious at the parent-teacher meeting ,in fact i do ,simply
    because it’s the day your parents find out you haven’t done anything during all term when
    you tell them you were first in the class even though it’s hard to be first in the class with a
    single digit grade of course i won’t tell you the grade .So on the day of the meeting, my
    mother and i were getting ready ,when we were about to leave when my sister asked us to go
    shopping of course i was totally against it because i knew what it all meant.

    Of course i totally refused but my mother looked at me with that look that says it’s not up to
    up to you” and she thought that it’s was a good idea .My mother asked me to take the trolley
    ,yes you read very well!!! .The trolley,you know that kind of big trolley that you only carry
    around for big shopping and the worst thing is that it was fluorescent yellow.Sometimes i feel
    that my mother embarrasse me on purpose and i think that she likes to do it for fun .The
    closer we got to my school the more i was afraid that i would be recognized with that filthy
    thing i was carrying around but how could i run away indefinitely?

    Of course i thought of a sick ploy,not so elaborate when i thought about it ,but there was a
    garden with a fence near the school .I told her it would be better to leave it there ,but guess
    what she said ,no i swear ,my mother has too much humour but i wasn’t joking at all .She
    said :”no, I want to take him back to the teachers lounge “, i wanted to cry when she said
    that but i rstopped myself from doing so.I told her that we couldn’t but she insisted and that
    for 20 minutes.Fortunately ,the janitor intervened and told her that it was forbidden to bring
    “this kind of object” into the school grounds ,so he asked us to leave it in the garden. Thank
    god although i don’t believe in god but i think without the help of the janitor i would have
    died of shame.
