When I was about twelve years old, I had a friend named Billy Boren. He was not only my friend but my all time crush. I had, had a crush on him since the 5th grade. Well, one night we were trying to think of something fun to do and could not come up with anything. He suggested bowling- lame, movies- boring. Then he got the bright idea of cops and robbers. Cops and robbers is this game were you have about twenty to thirty people, and some of the people are “cops” and the rest are “robbers.” The cops are in cars and the robbers are on foot. The object of the game is for the robbers to get from one side of town to the other without getting caught by the “cops.”
Well when we eventually got the whole thing organized and everybody there I got kind of nervous and had a bad feeling in my stomach. I was planning on staying by Billy’s side but I have never played this game before but they didn’t know that on account of I wanted to be cool and said, “ I’ve taken every route in this game, I am pro.” The game started as Billy took off to the left. It was pretty easy at first then I saw where we were headed: a row of backyards! I thought this scene only happened in movies. Where the bad guys jumped over a series of fences. However in two, three, one… first fence over with, second, third, fourth, ditch!!! Yes! I said Ditch after the fourth fence I jumped straight into a ditch full of water! Of course Billy and Chris, this other guy who decided to run with us, knew that it was there and jumped over it. I smoothly got up and out of the water and started to run. They were laughing really hard but I couldn’t figure out why. I felt unusually light in the fact that I had just gotten out of a ditch full of water.
In the next two seconds I realized something that was too late to fix. Because I was caught in the fact that the cops got me and my pants were about 150 yards behind me probably floating in the ditch downstream. Great!!!! I am without pants under headlights in front of the crush of my life. Best night of my life.

Shawnie, that is so funny! Your story just made me smile. I have no idea what I would do if that happened to me? Especially if they were sitting there laughing at me. That's so crazy!!! Well what a fun experience that you'll remember when your like fifty telling your grandkids your "crush stories!"

That is so funny, but sad at the same time. It does suck that it was in front of your crush. At the same time it's really funny. Sounds like you still had fun no matter what happened. Thats good that you can still have fun even though you have no pants!
wow! I am so sorry that really sucks. It made me laugh I fell off a wall and landed in a mud puddle. But your story is a lot more embarrasing.
