One of the most embarrassing moments of my childhood is when I was 14 years old and taking drama at high school.
The floor of the classroom was carpeted and our teacher always insisted that we take our shoes off. I usually wore black socks for school but this particular morning I couldn't find any. I didn't even think about the fact that I'd have to take my shoes off for my drama lesson that day until the lesson started.
Seconds after removing my shoes one of the girls noticed my Super Mario Brothers socks

. She started pointing and laughing and soon the whole class was staring at me and laughing. I must have gone as red as a tomato because then they started laughing at me for blushing too, which just made it worse. The crowning moment was when I looked towards my teacher forlornly looking for help and saw that she was laughing too
