We teach her about everyone, so long embarrassing for them, funny for everyone else. I did in high school, it was a half-time show of a basketball game. So, like, the whole school was there and they called a few students down randomly to participate and maybe win a prize in like a game where you're shooting.

And I was wearing these boots that had kind of heel like a thick heel. And I just fell down in front of the whole school. I was laughing and it was not the end of the world, but I was thinking about this recently and I'm so glad social media didn't exist.

So no one was filming. It wasn't posted anywhere. The only people who saw it were there present. Yes, I love it. Be terrible. If that was posted on social media for everyone to see, so it was simpler time. Yeah, simpler time was in the stands. Then when you were coming down the stairs, is that it was a while, I like shot the basket ball.

And I went to grab it because it was like a competition during the halftime where some students had to play like, lightning, where you, and then you try to get them out, bump out some people call it, and I was playing that and like shot the basketball ran to grab it and kind of tripped and fell literally, you were in the spotlight.
