Gettin’ The Boot

I had just came home from my dad’s house dressed in a tank top, skirt, and knee-high boots when my mom told me we needed to leave for my basketball game right now! I quickly grabbed my jersey and shorts and ran out the door. When we arrived at the game, I ran in to join warm-ups only to be stopped by my coach. I looked down and saw that I was still wearing my boots! I ended up wearing my brother’s size 10 shoes on my size 6 feet. What’s even worse is that I tripped and fell not once, not twice, but three times during the game!

wow

that must be terrible! especially if your a basketball gal also i got first comment!

nah

thats not embarrasing.whats embarrasing is getting hit with a bott on ur bottom and ur pants down ur ankles in front of ur crush.that did not happen to me,but come on.

ARE YOU OKAY?

OMG hope you heal get well soon!

Oh Well!

Oh well! You forgot your basketball sneakers. That could’ve happened to anyone. There is no reason to be embarrassed for tripping and stumbling, you were wearing shoes that were four sizes too big. You just have to know that you played the best game you could, and that’s all that matters. If you give 110% of your guts into playing the game, no one remembers you falling.

OMG

OMG i can’t believe that happened to you. I play b-ball I know how it would feel!

ICK-ISH!!!!!!!!!!!:@

OMG!! That’s so horrifing!!! -Sk8r

OMG!!!!!!!

That’s sounds sooo bad! I know I’d be in trouble if that happened to me! Except I’d be in the POOL!(P.s. I’m on a swim team) It would be soo incredibly embarrassing! - Ifeel4U

Shoe Disaster

I’m so sorry that happened to you! It would be awkward and embarrassing wearing your boots but at least you wouldn’t trip and fall…..maybe. But the shoes were a part of your uniform so you proboly had to wear the shoes. Hopefully that never happens again! Sorry!

<3 Blossom Lover <3

Sure...

Yeah, like you couldn’t notice you are wearing knee-high boots… sure.

Omg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Whatev...

I tink that it might be a little embarresing but people forget things sometimes and also cool peeps will understand when you fall. If some one laughed at you then they r ttly mean.

Frm peep hoo is ttly wicked sweetness awesome !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

these boots were made for trippin

so mortifying!!!!!!!

Yikes!

Something similar has happened to me. I forgot to set my alarm clock and overslept one day, and I only had a few minutes to change before the bus came. I quickly put on my pants and raced out the door. When I got on the bus, I realized I was still wearing my oversized t-shirt that was my pajama top! I looked like a slob at school that day!

LOL<3

I would have been SO mortified!!! Lucky I don’t play b-ball but, once i showed up at dance class without my bag in jeans and high heels. I had to sit out and watch them for 1 1/2 hrs! All my friends were nice about it thou. (do I get the first comment??)

EMBARRASING!!!

WOW that is embarrasing! did u win or lose the game?? I feel for you. Once I had to leave for cheerleading from my friends house, and I had on a mini skirt, cami, and high heels, so I forgot my shoes and I had to go up in a stunt!!! AHH! I had 2 sit out! <3, Lyndsey

first comment!

I have the first comment!! :) Anyway, that’s so funny! I feel really bad for you, but it could have been worse. As long as you’re willing to laugh about it, everyone else will too and they’ll forget about it soon enough.

Becca<3

wooww

next time be alittle careful on what you are wearing!!!

Whoa!

Oh my gosh i feel so bad for you! One time I was going to a basketball game and i forgot my shorts so I had to wear a pair that were way too big, and they ended up falling down!!AHH! I know how you feel!

OMG

That sounds real bad. I am sooo sorry. But if it ever comes up with your friends just laugh, you will feel better and people will stop picking on you

OMG!!!!

That’s pretty embarressing. I wear size eight shoe but one time when I had lost my shoes I had to wear my brother’s size eleven shoes to go to my friend’s house. The only embarressing thing about going to my friend’s house in those shoes was that her brother is my crush and he totally commented on those shoes! I know exactly how you feel.

~H.G.

Wow

Wow! If you lived near where the game was held, why couldn’t your parents or someone who was watching you run home and grab your sneaks? That’s what I would’ve done! I hope your falls didn’t hurt!

OUCH!

ouch girl that has to suck but at least everyone seen you cute boots!

WOW!

Wow! I would have SOOO much trouble keeping them on!

Trip-a-dee-doo-da

My sister made up a song about people tripping to the tune of “Zip-a-dee-doo-da.” Your story made me think of it!

Uh-Oh...

Yay, I got first comment!!!! (I think/hope/wish.) That isn’t too embarrassing. I mean, it could be worse, but yeah that’s sad. I feel your pain… =^(

~Lizi

SHOULD I?

I feel very bad 4 u. wat i did was 1time 2. i hope u got over it i feel sooooooo bad 4 u. sry

Oh Wow!

I feel so bad for you! I fall down sometimes too, but the worst part is on the bus. A lot of kids sit in the front, and once, one girl tripped me and I accidentally hit a girl! It was really bad, but worse since the girl actually meant to trip me!

                    Kara

Wow!

Maybe next time you should pack everything before time and that way you don’t have that mistake next time! That is pretty terrible though! :smile:<

I mean it’s not the end of

I mean it’s not the end of the world. I am a really good basketball player and i fall 4 to 5 times every time i play. If ur going to be a basketball player, it doesn’t matter what ur wearing even ,in ur case, ur shoes are to big, just go and be urself.

Who forgets?

Who forgets to wear sneakers?! Remember next time!

No harm no foul

Okay really embarrassing, but look on the bright side at least you can laugh at it and forget about it, and at least you didn’t step in dog doo like I did : )

??

its not THAT embarassing…

Ouch!

That has happened to me before , but my mom said that I couldnt play until she brought my shoes to me. You should have asked your mom to get your shoes and your coach if you could sit out for a while.

Like OMG!!! thats terrible!

Like OMG!!! thats terrible! after that stunt I wouldnt be able to show my face at basketball again . - ASHLEY ‘A-lay”
