re: Embarrassing stories from your childhood

When I was 12 or 13 this new family moved into the neighborhood just after the end of the school year. The mom was hot as hell. Well my buddies and I somehow discovered she liked to lay out in her backyard in a bikini after lunch when her kids were taking a nap. Being 12-14 year old boys we convinced ourselves she was laying out there topless or even naked. Hoping to get a glimpse, we found a tree in the adjoining vacant lot next door and would take turns climbing up the tree to ogle. About 2 weeks into this nearly daily event, I climbed up for my turn in the tree, and as I was sitting there the tree limb we had been sitting on had had enough and snapped. She heard it and was looking straight at me as I was hanging from another tree limb and called out asking if I was okay and if I needed any help. My buddies being the great buddies they were, took off running leaving me there by myself. I don't think I said anything and just climbed out of the tree and took off to find them.

A week or so later, the neighborhood had a block party/cookout and I somehow ended up at a table with her by myself. She asked me what I was doing in that tree, but her playful demeanor indicated to me she knew full well what I was doing. I just said nothing and she laughed and told me she didn't care and said she'd forget it ever happened.

I'm friends with her on Facebook and she's still hot as hell and nearly 60.
