Embarrassing, embarrassing, embarrassing

What should I do, what should I do, what should I do.

Embarrassing, embarrassing, embarrassing!!

I've done it now.
Waaah!!!

I'm a PTA officer this year.
For my eldest son's elementary school.
Even though he's a school refuser.
I have to do it, so I will.
Well, that's fine.

So, I went to my first meeting today.

It was full of people who seemed like veterans, and they had already formed their own little circles, you know?
I got a bit nervous and stumbled over my words so much during my self-introduction. I stumbled so much it almost made the atmosphere awkward.

But that's not the embarrassing part.

Because of the officer duties, I had to exchange LINE contacts with someone from the community center, right?

That person from the community center is actually a long-time customer of my husband's, and I'm somewhat acquainted with him too.

He's this super refreshing, genuinely cheerful guy, just a really pleasant person.

Meeting him always cheers me up, so I've unofficially made him my 'favorite character' with my husband's approval.

And then?

I don't exchange LINE contacts very often, so
you forget how to do it, right?

So, it was my turn to show my QR code.

'Um, how do I do this again? Is it this?'

I said,

and I ended up accidentally opening my camera roll, of all things.

It was right there!!?

I'd been worried about dark spots and fine lines lately, so I was taking selfies after adding serums and taking supplements, and then...

A super close-up photo of my bare face suddenly popped up, BAM‼️‼️

I went, "AAAHHH‼️"

I was panicking, thinking, "What is this, what is this, what is this?"


Even so, the mysterious logic that instantly crossed my mind was
"If I close the screen right away, it'll actually be more embarrassing."

So, I was flustered and my finger scrolled on its own, and by going even further back in my camera roll, another selfie appeared.

YOU IDIOT!!!!!

What are you doing!!!!!

And what's more,
I couldn't even do a cute, shy reaction like, "Oh no! How embarrassing!😂" I just tried to return to a normal state as quickly as possible.

"Well, you see, I've been worried about these dark spots."

I remember saying something like that!?
With a sort of "hehe" half-smile.

And then,

"It's okay! I was actually talking about that with your husband!" she said.


Wait?
What?
My husband and that girl were talking about my dark spots?
Why??
My husband! Hey, you!!
Stop using a woman in her late 30s' dark spots as a topic of conversation with a guy in his 20s!!!

Thinking about it later, I realized that in situations like this, the more you pretend to be fine, the more embarrassing it's bound to be.

Yet, I came home with a face that said, "I'm not bothered by something like this at all."

However, the volcanic eruption of embarrassment wouldn't subside, so the moment I was alone in the car, I went completely berserk.


AHHH!
This is just too embarrassing!!!

I've learned that people are creatures who speed not only when they're in a hurry, but also when they're embarrassed.
I was speeding down the dark country roads, and my sense of shame was running wild too.


When I got home, before doing anything else, even before getting out of the car, I opened my camera roll again, following the same steps as before.

IT'S HUGE!!!!!
Was it always this big? *sob*
It's over.
It's a super selfie.
Wait, wait, if I look closely, there are even some where I'm looking at the camera. NOOO!!!

I blurted out this whole fresh-off-the-press series of events to the children who had been keeping the house while I was out.

My eldest son sympathized with me and even laughed along.
My five-year-old second son gently patted my head and said, "It's okay, you don't need to worry about something like that."
The "something like that" part stung a bit, but I was happy for the sentiment.
When I asked him what he thought I should do, he said,
"You should just pretend it never happened ☺️"

So, I decided to try and dilute the feeling by thinking of things even more embarrassing than this.

That's it, that's it.
I tried to tell myself that it was better than letting out a massive fart I couldn't explain in the heat of laughter, or talking to someone with five nose hairs sticking out, but since neither of those things happened, such delusions are completely meaningless.

Just then, my husband came home earlier than usual, so I took the opportunity to tell him all about it too.

As I was talking, I started getting worked up again, and after making a huge fuss about it, I remembered that my husband had been making jokes about my age spots, so

"Wait a minute, why on earth would you talk to such a young girl about my age spots!"

I pressed him,

"I didn't say anything like that, lol."

What did you sayーーー？？！

Does that mean that girl lied on the spot out of consideration for my embarrassment?!!

Furthermore, my husband didn't correct the mistake until I pressed him on it just now.

Does that mean my husband pretended not to notice to avoid wasting her kindness, on top of my own embarrassment...?

Um.

The kindness of these two.

It's only fueling my embarrassment even moreーーーーー！！！！！

It's too much, it's too much.
Someone, please tell me a story even more embarrassing than this to dilute it.

I want to end by telling the most important thing to those who have read this far.

When you go to show your QR code, don't panic and press that square in the bottom right!

Think before you press it!

Ask yourself, is this really the right place?
Stop for a moment!!!

Go on, step over my corpse (hollow shell)
