You know that feeling you get when you do something so silly that you wonder why you did it in the first place? I think being silly is cute but sometimes the embarrassment that comes with silliness makes us feel as though the ground should swallow us up. No matter how we try to be perfect in life, we will always have those silly moments, and reflecting on them does give us funny feelings.
Silly moments
Gosh, I have had so many silly moments in life. I will just give one in this post, this will moment happened when I was in secondary school.
I was kind of short in height when I was in SSS 1, almost everybody was taller than me then. Due to my short height, my school uniform skirt was longer than usual, gosh, almost reaching my toe. One month after the resumption, I noticed that almost all the girls in my class were wearing short skirts, they had taken their school uniforms to tailors to help them reduce the length. I felt they all look so cool and fancy, and I wanted to be like them. I asked my mom if I could reduce the length of my school uniform skirt but her answer was a capital NO, I let go of the issue.
A week later, my best friend who is also my seatmate, came to school in a short skirt. That broke me, I was determined that no matter what, I must shorten the horrible skirt.
That weekend, since I knew my mother would never take me to a tailor, I went to buy needles and thread. On Saturday night, I took my time to iron the skirt and arrange its pleats. I folded it to the exact length I wanted, and use the needle and thread to stitch it together. It came out beautiful, just below my knee, which I feel is the most appropriate length for me.
Now Monday morning came, and I was scared of how I was going to wear the skirt to school without my mom knowing. Since mom didn't give her permission and I was sure she would be furious. I told my sister to send my goodbye greetings to mom and ran out of the house when she was still dressing for work.
On the way to school, I started feeling uncomfortable. I was already used to my long skirt, my younger sister was just looking at me, saying nothing. At the entrance of the gate, I didn't know what came over me but I took a blade and broke the stitches. My friends saw my skirt and started laughing, it was so obvious what I tried to do. I felt so silly and stupid all through the day. I rushed home to get there before my mom but unfortunately, she was already home. And to make matters worst my sister told her everything. And then mom started laughing, she felt it was funny that I went to all that trouble only to go back to my long skirt. When my other siblings came home and heard of my silly act, the laughter increased. I later fell in love with my long skirt and grew into it. Whenever I see a girl in a short school skirt, I always remember how silly I was wanting a shorter school uniform skirt.

You're welcome @geelocks! Have a nice day 😊👍
Hahahaha, do you still crave for them now?
🤭🤭🤭 not really, I hardly wear skirt now. I love my trousers
haha, this so much reminds me of the story my grandmother told me. She also wanted to reduce the length of her skirt 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣 your grandmother is like me. Did she also reduce the length or she later fell in love with it like me.
Hahaha it basically explains the fact that not everything that works for everyone would eventually work for another person too. Short skirts are nice, but I think it depends on people who wore them because people have shapes, body sizes, contours and all.
@tipu curate for your efforts.

Very true, short skirt looks different on each person depending on our body contours. Anyways, I am more into trousers and than skirt now, although I do once in a while.
Thank you for the curation, much appreciation.
Lolz, after all that much stress you still went back to what you never considered as your favourite. I believe you body got comfortable being fully covered, considering how some short skirt makes some person's really uncomfortable.
So silly of me, I guess I never knew I loved it because I was so focus on other people and not on what I want on my body.Not everybody is truly comfortable with short skirt, it does look nice on some people though. Anyways, am more into trousers now.
Yeahhhh
Some people just look so good on short skirts. The good thing is you finally realized what you love.
Though it was through the silly way😂😂
Oh....the horror. I'm imagining myself in that sort of situations with everyone laughing at me. It must have felt really terrible at the time.
But I'm glad you grew into it and learnt to be comfortable in your own skin. Many times we admire people in certain skimpy clothes, but we know we could never pull it off because we are uncomfortable in them.
It's just you basically sticking to clothes that don't make you feel self conscious.
A wonderful read.🌺
Gosh, it was. I felt embarrassed then but now thinking back on it, it feels so funny.
Am glad I did because it kind of help me to know myself and the kinds of cloths am comfortable with.
Thanks for stopping by
,,😂😂. You should have used it long. We all have different choices. As for me, I love short skirts on girls. Anyways, you rock. One love
Am sure you do😁😁😁😁, it does look cute on them. Even I love it on other people.
Thank you @ckole, an glad you came by.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 One thing about us is that when we are already used to something, trying a new thing at first would look uncomfortable to us but you never continued perhaps you might get used to your S.U long skirt 🤣🤣🤣 I also wore long skirts in secondary school that I felt I wasn´t cute and cool in it. It makes me look like an old woman then. Lol
Oh, my the S.U skirt got me rolling. The things we did in secondary school 🤣🤣🤣.
We always felt so uncomfortable leaving our comfort zone, but short skirt does look nice 🤭🤭
Short skirts look so nice and cool oo but mummy didn´t agree then too and I had to leave it that way. They thought we would be bad children then. Lol
Awwwnnn 🥰
I remember a time I got a long pinafore ,my uniform was so long,my friends laughed so hard,I laughed too, but I grew into it later on .
🤣🤣🤣, some friends ehhn, they make you want to go crazy. Am glad you also grew into it.
