Can You Die from Moritification?

When I was in ninth grade, I was in love with a boy named Ryan. I planned a co-ed surprise birthday party for him, and was thrilled when 12 people showed up. We were in the back yard playing a not-socially-correct-title-for-a-game, and I kept getting linked up with this guy, Clifton Chung, who was hilarious. Pee your pants hilarious. And that's exactly what I did. Peed my pants, in ninth grade, with my major crush and 12 other guys and girls in attendance. I'm not sure whether anyone notice, but I hightailed it into the bathroom, found a plastic bag, shoved my underwear into the bag and then into my jeans pocket, and went commando for the rest of the party.

Mortifying!!

If you want someone to blame thank for this story, head over to Emmy's blog; she's doing a Mr. Linky of people's most embarrassing stories from childhood. And if you want to try to one-up me, share your own story and link up with Emmy!

Uh-no! That one is pretty dang embarrassing. The question is did anyone notice? :) Hopefully not... but I know I would have been dying forever wondering if anyone did.
And well.. I will just reassure you, you are not the only one that has done this; I know from personal experience.
Glad you participated :)

Kimberly Vanderhorst said...

I've done that too! For serious! Except it was when I was about twenty. And yes, major crush was in attendance. Yeurgh. Such horrid memories . . . =P

Fiauna said...

I remember Clifton Chung. That's too funny. Too funny, I say!

Kristina P. said...

This makes me love you even more. Oh, how funny.

Wonder Woman said...

Wow--I'm pretty impressed that you threw a surprise party for a crush. Nice work!

And yeah-I'm not even gonna try and top that story:)

Katie said...

I would have to say that in the moment you just might wish you could die...it would be so much easier than everyone noticing what happened. Looking back on moments like these, they are pretty funny. And they make for a great blog post.

I would play but I just barely posted. Oh well--I will share here. I went to Las Vegas with my best friend. We ate A LOT of fruit for breakfast. We went to the Mirage for dinner and my tummy felt a little funny. I knew that I needed to fart, and well it was loud in there so I just let it loose. I did't realize that I was going to have the shartz--but I did. I totally crapped my pants--not a lot but enough. I ran to the bathroom, took off my underwear and threw them in the garbage. I too--went commando for the rest of the night. Good times!!

oh Erin, that is hilarious!

Strawberry Shortcake said...

That is hilarious! I love stories like this. It makes me realize I am slightly normal :)

As Told By Molly said...

Whoa! You win.

heather said...

that is seriously embarrassing!! most of my worst moments have been since i entered adulthood. :p
But maybe I'll play along for fun. I can't top you though.

Jen said...

Hilarious! I have a similar mortifying tale to share with you sometime.

Loralee and the gang... said...

Those all sound like the stories that everyone likes to tell at my dinner table...
:~D

Keyona said...

You were lucky to get away un-noticed! LOL!

Me (aka Danielle) said...

I'm pretty sure mortification has almost killed me at least once or twice..so YES!

rychelle said...

i'm so glad i'm not in high/middle/grade school anymore.

Anne-Marie said...

OOoh. That's up there in embarassing moments. I've got one. Maybe I'll post it, but it's a little gross/personal.

One time when I was at church camp it was the last night and we were watching the slideshow of all the pics that were taken during the week.
I NEVER miss this, because of course everyone wants to see what their pics will be.
But I REALLY had to use the restroom. 3 hours I waited, and finally I ran back the half mile to my cabin.
Right as I get to the bathroom door, my bladder empties.
Thank god no one was around, but I couldn't take a shower. I had to sleep on myself like that! Nasty!

Rachel Sue said...

Oh, I am enjoying the whole embarrassing story day. . . I may have to go look up some more!

And, personally, I think you are brave for even going back. Just taking the risk that someone actually saw you pee your pants would be enough to send me packing!

Anonymous said...

Oh Erin, I'm so sorry, but I laughed at this one! I mean LOL laugh. That is a classic story!

rich and steph said...

Funny story! I have too many embarrassing ones to even tell....the story of my life:)

rachel said...

I love how resourceful you were though...just pop them in a bag and go on your merry way :) I probably would have been crying in the bathroom!

Chloe m said...

Erin,
Whatta story! I hope you tell it to your kids, they will love it.
I share my embarrassing stories all the time with mine.

Kathy P said...

Some times I wonder how we all make it through this life...

oh boy!

OMGoodness... too funny!!! And you are so brave to have just kept going!!! Kudos to you!! I dont know what I would have done.... lol...

I have a few moments like this to share... but wont.. simply because there are too many inlaws reading my blog to share stuff like that... lol...

LisAway said...

I'm glad youcan't die of mortification because that happened to me more than once and I was mortified each time. Now David pees his pants if he gets laughing too hard and I'm already feeling sorry for him as he gets older.

Becky said...

Like others, I have also been through this. Darn our bladders!

P.S. Is it bad that I'm loving everyone else's embarrassing moments but I probably won't post one? Nah...

Lara Neves said...

I think you can die from mortification, but only a little bit. :) Some things are so embarrassing that if I even think about them I die a little bit, so no posting about them on my blog, right?

Amy said...

I found you from the Blogher network, and am absolutely in love with your blog! You have such an easy way of sharing things, and your blog is so bright and happy! And let's be honest, anyone who can admit they peed their pants in 9th grade is a stinking brave and awesome person!

The Kooky Queen--Rachel said...

HAHAHAHAHA!!! You kill me!! That happened once at a sleepover! I said I'd spilled syrup from breakfast in my crotch and had to wash it. But I was 9...and hopefully those people forgot my existence!

Becca said...

I once had a bee fly up my underwear while a friend was at my house. My mom ran over to the trampoline and pulled off my pants....and underwear, to let the bee out. All while my friend looked on in sheer amazement. But since I was only in 3rd grade, I think your story wins!

Denise said...

Clifton was hilarious. I double dated with him and it was fun (him not really my date). I'm just wondering who this Ryan was. Would I know him. That's so funny you just shared that.

Az Kelms said...

I totally remember Clifton Cheung...he was pee your pants funny. I laughed when I read your post. How mortified you must have been!
