Top 10 most embarrassing life moments of my younger days…

1. Being blown into my classroom in Grade 3 when a gust accompanied me opening the door. I weighed about 25kg at the time.
2. Attempting to perform a trick with my bicycle and ending up in a messy heap in the middle of a four-way stop.
3. Failing an unprepared Afrikaans oral in Grade 11. And watching my teacher telling the class as much.
4. Reversing into a palm tree in front of two college buddies.
5. Being called “Harry Potter! Harry Potter!” by a group of kids as I walked past them in the street. I was an awkward, bespectacled teenager at the time.
6. Crying in Grade 1 after nonchalantly being reprimanded for thinking it was okay to whip out my juice bottle and have a drink.
7. Showing up at pre-school dressed in costume… for a play that we were only meant to prepare for later that afternoon.
8. Running away from a soccer ball during PT lesson at school.
9. Laughing uncontrollably as I played the recorder at a primary school concert.
10. Taping myself singing “backstreet boys” (a dare) and having my friends lock me out of my own room, put the tape into the player and repeat it over and over at maximum volume, whilst screaming with laughter.
