21. Mortifying moments Watch this demonstration of what can go wrong with public proposals YouTube - Marriage Rejected Mortifying Text Fifth grade was the worst year of my life. All four of my parents were crazy, the kids at school teased me all day long, and I got an impetigo. That's one of those gross kid diseases; it looks like a big scabby cold sore. When the first kid asked what it was, instead of giving the right answer (It's a cold sore. Shut up or I'll kill you.), I answered like an Asperger's-having know-it-all: It's an impetigo. It's a fungal infection that many children get. You shouldn't make fun of a person with a fungal infection. I got my new name right away. As the days went by and the impetigo got worse (it spread over my entire upper lip and crawled up into my nose) the kids made up a song, too. When I got on the bus each morning, they would chant: There's a fungus among us! A fungus among us! I would make my way down the aisle and kids would offer me their lunch money not to sit next to them. The bus aisle was one thousand feet long. (From getmortified.com)
