The cute guy was trying to help but didn't understand why I would not stand up. The little girl was crying and stuck to me and I was crying and stuck to the chair. When I stood up to take her in the house and try to save her hair, I discovered that my terry cloth elastic-waist shorts were glued to my chair, which pulled down my shorts causing me to drop back down. I was so nervous, I ended up with my hand stuck to the little girl's hair, which got me even more flustered. Right in the middle of all this super gluing, the cute guy I had a crush on walked up and started flirting!! We made a mess of it and got glue all over the place. We found the super glue and went out to the front porch to fix it. One day, I was babysitting next door and the little girl broke a little glass figurine. When I was 14, I had an all-consuming crush on the 15 year old boy that lived down the street. When we got into the car I asked Rick why he started lauging and he said, "Because you asked me if I'd ever touched a dead body before!" I didn't say that!!! I hope I convinced them and they didn't know we were laughing. So I immediately pretended I was crying because my face had tears all over it. I still didn't know what he was laughing at! We looked back and this older couple came walking up to the casket, while were were about to fall on the floor laughing. Then Rick almost busted a gut laughing, and of course I followed. While Rick and I were standing there I whispered something to him, what, I don't remember. My friend Rick took me to the funeral home to view the body. Well, he somehow didn't hear a train coming and it hit his car, killing him instantly. That's how embedded this memory is in my mind. "Crimson and Clover" was playing all over the radio. The wedding thread reminded me of my first huge embarrassing moment, when a funeral was mentioned.
