I’ve always been really scared of dogs, and so when one came up to me as my class was lining up in the playground I ran away! But I only ran around our line, and the dog kept following me. Everyone was laughing as I kept running round and round, until I got so dizzy that I fell over! Major cringemare – especially since all the dog did in the end was lick my face!

One day at school I had an important cross-country race that I really wanted to win, but at the starting line I slipped and landed face-first in a pile of dog poo! Ewwww! And I had to keep running even though everyone was laughing (and it smelled pretty bad too). DISGUSTINGLY embarrassing!

I was sitting down to eat my lunch in the school canteen one day, but the bench was really wobbly. Somehow I knocked the whole thing over – it landed on my BFF’s foot, and I landed on the ground! Even worse, of COURSE lunch was spaghetti that day…and it landed all over me!

Last week I went to the cinema with a group of friends, but I was so tired that I accidentally fell asleep. A massive BANG in the film woke me up with a jump about 10 minutes later – only to find everyone staring at me! They’d decided I was more interesting than the movie…especially since I was apparently talking in my sleep! HOW embarrassing!

I was on holiday with my family in Ireland, and we were visiting an old castle. We weren’t really supposed to touch anything, but when I saw a full suit of armour I couldn’t resist. But it immediately came clattering down on top of me, and when I looked up the owner was standing right there! Uh-oh! I was blushing like a berry!

I was walking back from school by myself, and my friend was running after me. I had no idea she was coming up, and she pounced on my back! I screamed SO loudly in shock, people on the other side of the street turned to stare. And now she won’t let me forget it!

Our headmistress was saying a prayer in assembly last week, when I felt something crawl along my arm... I opened my eyes to peek, and it was a massive spider! I screamed SO loudly and jumped up to shake it off – and of course the entire school turned to stare at me! Now nobody will let me forget it, even the teachers!
