I peeled the paper off of a muffin, and at least a tenth of the muffin stuck to the paper. So I did what any rational person would do, and pushed the paper inside-out and started eating the stuck-on muffin bits off of it.
When I was about half-way done, it occurred to me that I probably looked really terribly attractive all hunched over this paper, eating the absolutely essential 1/10th of a muffin off of it. Luckily it's a Friday and it's summer, so there's nobody in the office to see me. I didn't even finish eating the stuck-on muffin bits, so unattractive was the mental image I had of myself.
So I have to ask, am I alone in finding myself in these situations? Half-way done doing something that suddenly seems totally gross or weird or ridiculous (e.g. stapling rolled-up tissues)? Do other people, like, think before they act, thereby avoiding these situations?
I make funny faces that I'm unaware of (you usually tell me, "uh, Mom, lookin' kinda goofy when you make that face".
ReplyDeleteI would have eaten the muffin bits and probably never would have thought about how gross I looked.
I went to a diner once with people I hadn't seen since graduation and never hung out with before, so the possibility of being judged was considerable and I probably should've been on my best behavior. Well, my last fry fell below table level (but onto my purse, not the seat! I swear!) These were realllly good fries so, obviously, I salvaged it in the most discreet way possible. Only to look up and see this kid is staring at me. He says, "I saw that."
