My Embarrassing Moment

OK so how long has it been since my daddy has seen me in my underwear???? Um you would think the answer would be since I was a little girl but no it was today. We started working in the yard at the house and it hasn't been touched in about 5-6 years so you can imagine the mess it is in. Dad and John were cutting tree limbs down and we were carrying them off. Jake worked his tail off today by the way. There was an old bucket that I picked up to put in the trash pile and it was heavy so I had to carry it up against me. Well apparently some fire ants had made there bed in this bucket and I made them angry and well within about 30 seconds I started feeling some stings and I looked down and my clothes were COVERED in fire ants. I panicked in a way that I haven't in a very long time. Mom was standing beside me and I just stripped down to my underwear right there and handed her my clothes. I was standing in the front yard and my dad, John,mom and the boys were all watching (quite amused I might add). It was quite embarrassing but I am so glad that my neighbors down the street had just drove by less than 2 minutes before this happened and not during the process. I would have come home with a BANG had that happened. I got a few bites on my stomach but my quick thinking (really just paniking) saved me from a ton of bites. Never thought I would find myself standing in my underwear between my daddy and my husband. I really can't believe that I am posting this but I couldn't let you all miss out on the humor!!!

If we were still pre-teens, you could sent this in to Seventeen magazine for the "Most Embarrassing Moments" section! Oh, Amy, that is just too funny! I'm glad you didn't get many bites. There's a "welcome back to the country" for you!

I think I've told you about the time Jonathan and I were hitting golf balls with my dad (we were dating), and a bee flew up my pants. I freaked out... which caused my dad to stick his hand up my pants -- literally to my inner thigh!!! -- trying to get the bee out. He killed him inside my pants. It is something the three of us laugh about to this day. You NEVER imagine yourself in a situation like that. And then, it happens!

Thanks for sharing the humor! Love you.

That would have been great for "America's Funniest Videos." However, I'm sure you're glad that just your family saw you in your undies and not the whole world!

I'm just glad you've already found some fun ways to pass the time in your new neck of the woods. I never heard any stories about you stripping while you were here in the 'ham, but I guess there's more stuff to do here? Missing you!

That is such a hilarious story- I am laughing out loud. I can't wait to laugh about this with you.
