Before Xmas I didn't think, went to a mall with some friends, forgot to ask my mom, had to ask her to pick me there. I didn't do anything bad, but sure made a mess. I apologized, mom was nice but gave me a lesson. Next day I had to stay home doing some chores. Mom made me put on a cute frilly apron and told me to keep it on. I didn't complain, I know I messed up, my mom treated me with love and it was a light punishment. My parents were at work and I stayed home doing my chores. It happened that 3 of mom's fellows, ladies, came home that afternoon and since mom was out I had to help them . I didn't know if I was allowed to take off my apron to receive them and I didn't think it'd be Ok to call her at her job, so I didn't take it off. They laughed, said I looked cute in it, asked what I was doing and I told the truth. I got embarrassed. When I told mom she laughed too, said there was no problem, gave me a big hug and kisses. But in those ladie's place what would u think of me?

If they are friends of your mom's, they will probably get the whole story from her. Trust me, you will be laughing about this episode with your mom and her friends someday.
Kudos to you for being such a great kid (taking your punishment seriously), and kudos to your mom for not going overboard and for "the hugs and kisses" when she realized you were embarassed!!

Don't be so harsh on yourself, your mother has already forgiven and forgotten all about it, she is certainly not a making a big deal out of it, so follow her example and forgive yourself equally fast. Life is too short to ruin over such small incidences.
Her friends must have found you looking too cute in that apron, so they laughed it off, why not you too do the same and laugh it off!
Though the important thing would be to remember the lesson, but surely it’s time to forget the incident.

Embarrassment is a factor of existence and surely has a earnings; that is going to remind us that we don't desire to sense that way returned and so we can't make a similar mistake. lots greater effective to be embarrassed at domicile, surrounded via family participants, than to be shamed at school or in the placement of work. It feels undesirable now. i'm grateful for the training my mothers and dads taught me because of the fact the grownup international is lots harsher than something my individuals could hand out. At this element, attempt to suck it up and flow on. there is greater ahead of you and any training you could glean from this could be effectual sooner or later. sturdy success to you little darling...

Kids mess up. I'm not too keen on that punishment, but that's between you and your mom. It sounds to me like you were more embarrassed admitting what you had done wrong than about wearing the apron. I think everything's fine.

Amanda I think you are one sharp kid! Most kids would have shrugged off the responsibility, and did what they wanted. As soon as the parents left is where you shined the most. It's called sticking to the task. If I were an employer looking for new hires YOU would be my first choice! Keep this attitude and you will go far! Kudos to you!!!

these people were told by yourself what happened and what your punishment was and laughed,,,the chances are that they thought you were a pretty good child for accepting that punishment,many kids would have run off as soon as guests arrived but not you,,you stayed and took their laughing which was more than likely in good humour,im willing to bet they also wished more children were this respectful and your doing this for your mom shows you respect her and other parents appreciate that.dont take it to heart,,this quality will stand you in good stead in the future,,you are a person who takes responsibility for their actions and that shows great maturity.

They probably don't think anything bad about you. Adults generally think of children as doing childish things and might tease you a little about it, but won't hold it against you or think any less of you. Don't worry; this too shall pass.

If all you were wearing was an apron they probably could tell when the turkey was done.

That's funny--also nice of your mom to punish you without hurting you.
