My life is like a movie. A bad one.

I made a big jerk of myself today!
My mother and I had decided it would be "fun" to work at our county fair, in the kitchen of our church's concession stand, conveniently located right on the midway.
This year they had a dress code and before we left we were making fun of it. When we got to the part that said "no visible underwear" I hiked my shirt over my bra and yanked my grannie undies out of my pants in mockery of the silly rule. It was funny, we laughed, no harm done.
When we got there we realized we were with mostly "fun" church people, the kind who will cuss a little and talk about sex. I ended up working in the kitchen with a bunch of older couples.
Well, we got to discussing the dress code with some of the more liberal younger ladies who were serving, and mom told me to show one of them my impression of the "no visible undies" rule.
Of course I reacted without thinking...I assumed that because I was in the kitchen, only a few of the counter girls could see me...so I yanked up my shirt and hauled my undies as high onto my hips as they would go...and promptly realized the whole kitchen was staring at me, all of the servers had stopped serving and were staring at me, the customers at the counter were staring, as were several people on the midway.
Guess I wasn't as invisible as I sometimes feel.
Whoops!
I'm sure the pastor will get a kick out of this story, as it was clearly an accident and I did not mean to flash a lot of people. Some of the other people at church, however...enh. They'll just be jealous.
