It's a good thing your hosts had a sense of humour! Crikey.
I've said lots of dumb things in my time and done lots too. I always get away with it because I'm small, look a lot younger than I am (got asked for ID when buying wine as a 30 year old!) and people for some odd reason think I'm very sweet - which gets a bit sickly at times as I'd like to think I'm good but I'm not an angel.
I don't think I can beat that story though.
My very first lecture at uni, I was running late so in a rush to get into class and a seat before the lecturer started. Everyone else had sat down and my friends had saved a seat right at the front and slap bang in the middle.
Instead of doing the normal thing and walking down the row to get to the said seat, I decided (in my infinite wisdom) to race right round the front and jump into the seat. Hmm. Well it all went terribly wrong and as I jumped into the seat, I slipped down the gap between the back of the seat and my friends had to pull me up. Everyone laughed hysterically of course. So dumb.
Then for one of my birthdays, I had a flaming drink which I was toasting myself with standing up on the seat (should have learned my lesson) and I dropped it setting fire to the tablecloth. It was put out very quickly by the waiter but that is just typical me. Oh well.
Can't wait to hear more stories ...
