Valuable Lesson

So, I learned a very good lesson today:

Always have a spare pair of shorts, pants, jeans... whatever... for emergency situations.

A possible emergency situation being, let's say... your pants ripping while you teach.

Yup, seems like a good thing to keep in mind.

Well, that being said... I think I handled it like a pro.

Sure, it was embarrassing... and my face turned about the same shade of red of my underwear... the kids laughed at me... but, it's actually not the first time I split a pair of underwear, shorts, pants, or jeans.

I've actually gone through quite a few... it's the curse that comes to me for having thunder thighs, a Hispanic butt, and then throw flexibility into the mix.

Also, me doing squats recently probably didn't help the cause... making said thunder thighs and Hispanic butt get bigger.

But, yeah... luckily a teacher was able to think on her toes and hurriedly lent me her sweat shirt she had in a bag for me to wrap around my waist. 

I then casually and, maybe only slightly self-consciously, continued my class without much realization or reaction from the students over my ripped pants.

So, not that bad when I think about it.

Anyway... take heed in my experience and keep my valuable lesson to mind... that way you can always have a back-up should this situation be experienced by you guys!
