An Embarrassing Tennis Moment

Back when I was in high school I was playing tennis with a friend and when we were done with our match I thought to myself, “Watch this! I’m going to leap over the net like they do on TV. It will be a little bit funny in an ironic way but also, sort of, cool.”

So I ran to the net and jumped. But a problem occurred. The tip of my foot hit the top of the net and rather than sailing effortlessly over the net with grace and poise I tripped and fell in an awkward heap to the ground.

It turns out my move was not cool, at all. On the other hand, it was more than a little bit funny to the people who saw it.

Fortunately, that’s the last embarrassing thing I’ve ever done!

…Unless you count all the other stuff.
