The ugliest outfit in the world!!

i was going to post this as a comment to Green Clover's post, but it got too long so i figured it would be better in Embarrassing Moments.

For my 14th birthday, i opened the most horrifying gift ever given to me: a hideous outfit my grandmother had sewed me. It was these long culotte shorts, and a matching shirt made out of the ugliest material i have ever seen! They were black with multicolored prints of junk food-yes, there was actually popcorn, hot dogs, ice cream, french fries, cotton candy, etc. printed all over it!!! With an ELASTIC WAISTBAND!!! It looked like someone had gone to a carnival and thrown up on it.

i turned to my sister, (who i share a birthday with) and we both held them up with appalled looks on our faces. Hers was the same outfit, only with a revolting tiger-and-jungle print. We figured oh well, we can stash these in the bottom dresser drawer and never wear them.

WRONG. A month later, we were leaving for Disney World with my parents and grandparents, and my mom made us wear them to the airport to make grandma happy. We whined and complained but she wouldn't budge. She said, 'well, it's either that or you wear them AT Disney World!' So with scowls on our faces the whole time, we trudged behind our family together, doing the walk-of-shame through the O'Hare airport. There were stares and pointing and snickering, and we weren't sure if it was from our embarrassingly squeaky suitcase on wheels, our grandma's six-inch tall hairdo, my youngest sister rolling on the floor in the throes of a temper-tantrum, or, of course, our attire. Briana and i kept our jackets on to at least cover the shirt parts of it, but it was roasting in there, and grandma kept asking us if we wanted her to put the jackets in her bag. 'Oh no, we're, uh, freezing!' we lied.

Then my sister got something on her culottes and couldn't wear them. My mom dug a pair of jeans out for her to wear instead, leaving me in the lurch, having to sport my repulsive duds alone. She kept gloating that she got out of wearing it. i spent the plane ride trying to will myself into becoming air-sick so i could vomit on it so i could change, too. (Didn't happen, of course.)

Wow, this was even too long to be a post, so sorry and thanks for reading! i could barely type this without laughing hysterically.
