I'm 13, didn't think and, 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 it was wrong. I apologized, mom was nice but gave me a lesson. Yesterday afternoon 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, 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 2 of mom's fellows 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 I'm embarrassed,

To make things more embarrassing, 2 of my girl friends came home and stayed with me in tyhe kitchen while I was finishing my chres in my apron. They laughed too. Even my dad laughed and said Oh hun , please keep it on, you look so I looked so cute and sweet.

If you were a boy, I'd see why you were embarrassed. But, you're a girl and there is absolutely NO reason for you to be embarrassed about wearing an apron.
The best thing you can do is be HAPPY that your parents are loving and have a great sense of humor. I think your mom had you wear the apron because she knew you would obsess over it and this obsessing and your insistence on being embarrassed would be the best punishment she could give you for doing something wrong ... a minor punishment for a minor misdeed.
One thing that does concern me, though, is friends of your parents coming over when they are not home. They have no reason to be there when your parents are out. In my house, my son is not to allow any adult in the house if we are not here (for his safety). You might want to ask your mom and dad about their rules for this.

Laugh with them, the subject of your apron wearing will be old news once everyone realizes it doesn't bother you. Besides at 13 you will have many more embarrasing moments ahead of you to worry about. When someone comments just say "yep all in a days work"
