every once in a while, one of my most embarassing moments comes to mind. you know what i mean - that time you accidently tripped and fell on your arse in front of a crush, or that one time you were walking around all day with a huge hole in your pants without knowing it.
this morning i remembered a history class project we had to do in 7th grade. we were assigned to do a report on important inventions the Native Americans came up with to survive. i had chosen the bow and arrow, but for some reason thought it was called "bowen arrow" at the time. the big poster i made had "BOWEN ARROW" boldy written across the top of it and i was so excited to present my project until a boy named Jacob went up before me and also did his project on the bow and arrow. only he had actually written it correctly on his poster (he even had a modern-day bow and arrow, a total show-off, right?) and i panicked. i watched the teacher and the whole class react in awe to Jacob's presentation. i was so embarassed for myself that when it was my turn, i lied and said i hadn't done my project. my teacher suspiciously glanced at the poster i had under my desk but didn't say anything else.
after class, i ripped up my poster and threw it in the trash. i never felt more embarassed and stupid than i had that day. but even to this day, i still wonder... where the hell did i get "bowen arrow" from?
