I can't even begin to count all the embarrassing moments I've experienced, and I think I'm still not ready to share most of them... so let me think...

When I was about 16, I had a huge crush on my Dutch teacher. While in class, I had been writing a poem, in which I expressed my adoration for him. When we left the classroom, it must have slipped out of my diary, because a couple of hours later, he called me into his (empty) classroom and told me he had found it, read it and was flattered by it. I could only mumble something and ran away. never been able to look him in the eye again after that moment
