After All These Years....

Ok...so I have a story...one that shocked me to my very core. I was in grade 4. My friends talked me into doing a lipsync in front of my entire school. We decided to do ours to "You Can't Hurry Love" by the Supremes...shut up - we had to do oldies cause apparently the songs of the day were too "riske" lol so anyways - we practiced for weeks and because I was freakishly strong for my age...we thought it would be fun if I lifted up my friend and twirled her around - so ok no problem I had it down pat by the time it came to perform. However...the act that went on before us was to "Splish Splash" and they had a bathtub and bubbles and the whole bit...making the stage very slippery...can u tell where this is going...anyways...we all know how good I am on my feet so adding soapy water to the equation was just asking for disaster. So it comes to the part of the song where I had to do my big lift...only to get thrown off balance...slide...drop my friend (who landed with grace and ease) I however did not have such luck. I fell with no grace...slid across the stage and came to a stop when I hit the electrical socket that they brilliantly built into the floor...thankfully it was broken - but still can leave a nasty bruise....anyways. I can still remmeber the "Ohhhh" that came from the crowd - but the trooper that I am...I keep going like nothing happened. Got off stage and vowed to hate the "Splish Splash" Girls forever....and a little bit of me has to this day. Until for some reason lipsynching came up in coversation the other day while talking to Kate and Garrett. Kate said - oh yeah we used to do that every year! Our best one was the one we did to "Splish Splash" well my jaw dropped and I pointed at her and said "YOU! IT WAS YOU!!!" and she was all confused and Garrett just said...."oh God...it was you." and I proceeded to tell her the story while being in complete and udder shock.

It only took like 14 years...but the truth comes out!!!! Lol couldn't believe it...I nearly fainted. But laugh...man - what are the chances really??? Friggin small town.
