Pen panic

When I was in Year 4, I got very bored in one of our English lessons and started to chew the top of my new handwriting pen. I tried to get the top off in one bite but it attached to my lip. It was stuck, hanging from my top lip! I had to ask my best friend to tell the teacher because I couldn't speak, I felt sooo embarrassed!

Bus boo boo

I was with my mum on the bus back from the shopping centre. It was the first time I'd been on a bus and I didn't know that there were no seat belts, so when the bus pulled away I shouted: "STOP I'M NOT CLIPPED IN!" My mum whispered to me: "There are no seat belts on buses darling." It was soooo embarassing.

Not so nice ice!

It was a sunny day so my family and I took a trip to the beach. As a treat my Mum bought me a yummy mint-choc chip ice cream. Suddenly, a huge dog ran at me and knocked me straight over! My ice cream landed in my hair and, worst of all, the whole beach saw. Cringe!

Trouser trauma


I went over to my bestie's house for a sleepover. We were having so much fun, making up dance routines and being a little bit silly. Suddenly, as I was leaping off her bed (air guitar style), her brother came round the corner and my trousers totally ripped! I had to wear a towel until her mum found me one of my friend's spare pairs of trousers! ARGHH!!!
