Hi Nola - some great examples. The chocolate moment reminds me of one of my son's favourite scenes in Diary of the Wimpy Kid which features are similarly placed chocolate stain and Rowley (I believe) protests "It's chocolate" and scraps it with his finger and licks to prove the point, only compounding the horror of the onlookers. As for an embarrassing moment of mine own - the strap of my swimming costume snapping in the middle of the surf at Bondi Beach. I'm sure the gallant man who headed my way to rescue me from supposed drowning had no idea why I was screaming for him to go away :) Life is full of such "minty moments" :)
LOL Jenny. That would be a great scene in Miranda's sitcom. Now I expect you to write that as a scene in your next short story. Thanks for sharing.
