Tag trauma!

I was at my friend’s party and we were all playing tag outside. My BFF was It, and I was running my fastest to get away when I slipped on the mud and landed splat on my bottom! SO embarrassing – especially since I had to spend the rest of the party covered in dirt!

Mud mare!

I was on a school trip with a different class, and was hoping to look cool in front of the people I didn’t really know. Unfortunately, the first gate we went through had loads of mud on the other side and I stepped in some extremely smelly muck. Gross! I had to walk all the way back to the hostel that way, with my shoe making disgusting squelching noises every step!

Disco no-no!

When I was on holiday, I went dancing with my BF. We were totally rocking the dance floor! Everyone started watching us, so we decided to perform a dance routine we learned at school. Suddenly, without warning, my skirt ripped at the back! Everybody saw my knickers. It was a total cringe-mare!

Cartwheel calamity!

I was in the park with my friends and one of then said, 'I bet you can't do a cartwheel!' So I did one, but instead of landing on my feet I landed straight on my bum in a huge pile of dog poo! My friend told me ahe will never let me forget it! Aaaaahhh!!!

Bike blush

I was on my new bike and my dad had just taken the stabilisers off. I was doing really well until I had to turn a corner... I fell off and split my tights in front of 5 people! Total cringe-mare!

Food fail!

I was late for a lesson because I hadn't finished lunch yet, so I quickly crammed my whole spaghetti bolognaise into my mouth and ran into class. But when I got there, everyone cracked up laughing, even the teacher! I had food all round my mouth! Total cringemare!

Face paint fright!

I was at my little sister's birthday party and she begged me to get my face painted like her friends, so I did! That night, I went to cinema and forgot it was on!! All my mates fell about laughing! Cringe or what?!
