One of many "Most Embarassing Moments"

It was lunch time and the middle school office was busy. Parents were enrolling a new student, students were dropping off lunch money, teachers were checking their box for mail, the secretaries were answering the phone and the principal was speaking with a parent and student. It was a fairly typical, busy lunch hour.

I was taking advantage of the time to run some copies of a handout that I needed for the next day's class. While waiting for my papers to copy, I was looking around the room.

One minute I was calmly standing next to the copier and the next moment I was sitting on the floor with my right foot pointed forward and my left foot behind in a full splits.

The really embarassing part was when I realized that I was wearing a dress with my short heeled shoes. I scrambled to get up and looked around to see that everyone was looking straight my way.

No one said a word, the office was quiet. Should I wait for the copies to finish or pretend I was done and leave right then?
