Note to Self - My Belt



This wasn’t one of the greatest moments of my life
In fact in terms of humiliation
It is right at the top of the list.

One Friday evening I decided to rush out of the house and get a fish and chip take-away for the family
Taking my teenage boy Connor with me
I made a bad choice
A very, very bad choice
I chose a belt for my trousers that was not up for the task

It was all going so well
All going to plan
Until
As I left the chip shop carrying the dinner
With my hands full
My belt slipped
And my trousers
Fell down
In the middle of the street
Around my knees
Half-mast

Right in front of a group of teenage girls who were waiting on the street corner

Panic
Sheer panic
Overcame me

I threw down the dinner
In the street and
Fumbling
I quickly attempted to pull up my trousers

As the group of girls burst out laughing and pointing in my direction

This was followed by my son joining the chorus of laughter.

My son has never let me forget the fateful evening
And I was lucky not to be arrested.
