And how was your day? Step it up!

Girls' Life, April-May, 2003

My friend and I got smoothies at the mall's food court and headed down the escalator to hit more stores. Halfway down, my friend announced she wanted fries and ran back up the escalator. I tried to follow and was almost there when she yelled, "You can make it!" Next thing I knew, I was on the ground. My smoothie flew up and landed on the electrical box, which caused .a loud hissing noise and brought the whole escalator to a stop.

It was softball team picture day, and I was late. As we pulled up, I saw my team about to get their picture taken. I jumped out of the car, screaming and waving for them to stop. Turns out it was another team-their uniforms were the same color.

I was running late one morning and quickly threw on a tee and capris. When I got to school, everyone was staring at my butt. I sat down and realized my mom's bra was hooked to the back of my capris!

The day I was to perform in the school play, I was too nervous to eat. The last scene, a funeral situation, was supposed to be really somber. During a moment of silence, my stomach growled--LOUD, like a tiger. The audience heard it through the microphones, and someone shouted, "The dead guy's alive!"

I was playing miniature golf and hit the ball into the pond. This hot guy got the ball out for me. When I walked over to get it from him, I slipped on the edge of the pond and fell in!

I wore the coolest new outfit to school. As I walked down the hall, everyone pointed and whispered. I figured it was because I looked great but, when I went to the girls bathroom, I saw in the mirror that bird poop was in my hair. I wouldn't come out until my teacher came to get me. Even she laughed!

In gym one day, I was paired with my crush to do a fitness routine. We flirted like crazy, but on my 56th sit-up, I let out the loudest burp ever! Now he always requests a different partner, and I never eat nachos for lunch anymore. I needed to ask a question in science class. When I raised my hand, I accidentally smacked my teacher's boob. It got her attention--and everyone else's!

I was at my crush's birthday party, and I wore one of those fake-hair scrunchies. Next thing I knew, my crush was yelling, "Who's wig?" Everyone laughed, including me--until I saw that it was my scrunchie he was holding up!

I was at the mall with my friend, and she insisted we follow this hot guy. My friend grabbed his butt and ran off. He turned around and called me a "pervert."

I was going to treat my friends to a movie with my babysitting money. When the time came to buy the tickets, I reached into my pocket for my cash. Instead, I pulled out a wad of play money! My sister had put it there as a joke. Ha-ha.

I was practicing baton in my front yard. Some guys were outside, so I tried to show off. I threw the baton really high, did a spin and returned to catch it. But the baton never came back down. It was in a tree, and my dad had to get the ladder. So much for my dazzling moves.

I've been acting for years, but I'm brand new to the singing thing. During one of my first concerts, I was really giving it up. I was singing and doing some great dance steps when, in the middle of a turn, I lost my footing and fell! Worse than the silence that took over the crowd was the fact that no one helped me up. Everyone else on stage just continued with the routine! After the show, people asked the same two questions: "Can I have your autograph?" and, Are you OK?"
