The Burdens of Being Upright

embarrassed like burning

today at lunch i inadvertently did something that was very rude and embarrassing. first you should know that my school is all about the candy fund raisers, the only way our school gets money is by having some of the kids push M&M's and snickers on the rest of the kids. well, this person that was standing about 4 seats down from me at lunch was selling M&M's. i wanted some M&M's so i tried to get his attention. i said "hey boy" and he turned around only to reveal that no, "he" was not a boy, he was a girl. ahh! i felt like a big pile of shit. i immediately apologized but it didnt even seem to bother this girl. of course two of her friends were laughing their asses off which made me feel even worse. it was an honest mistake, i only saw her from behind and with her short hair in cornrows and her sweatpants and shit, she looked like a guy. eh well, i cant excuse myself, that was embarrassing.
