conv: I slipped on a puddle and landed on my back in the middle of the mall once. All I could do is pretend that I was hurt to avoid embarrassment.. I slipped on a puddle in the mall once. I was so embarrassed that I pretended I was hurt badly. I know the feeling. Once I fell in high school from a puddle and laughed it off even though I was hurt_comma_ Even animals get embarrassed_comma_ I've seen it in my cats. Oh really? I haven't seen that in an animal as of yet. That's pretty interesting. Yes_comma_ my cat fell from the mantle above the fireplace and looked totally embarrassed. Oh dang_comma_ talk about a fall! If I were your cat I'd be embarrassed too! Lol
