     a young girl talks about an embarrassing situation that happened to her during her church's Christmas pageant one year ago.
Plenty of people have experienced embarrassing situations in their life from time to time, but I am going to write about one such incident that happened to me.

It was last year during the Christmas cantata at our church. I was in the cantata (I was an angel), and we angels had to sing, as though we were announcing the Birth of Jesus Christ. I was ten then (I am now 11), and as I was coming across the church platform, I tripped on my white angel's robe; and I fell flat on my face. I quickly got up; but I was trying to act nonchalant about the fall. But I knew everybody and their mother saw me, as I could hear people in the audience snickering; and I could feel the heat rising as my face probably turned redder and redder by the second.

If that wasn't bad enough, in the humor of the moment, I proceeded to bow a sweeping bow towards the congregation; and I thought Pastor Bilkey was going to choke. He tried to keep from laughing, but he was unsuccessful; but at the same time, his eyes blazed with anger; and I knew at once that he wasn't at all pleased with me.

To this day, some of my friends at church still tease me and ask me if I am a "fallen angel" because of my spill during the Christmas cantata. Or they will ask me if "I had a nice trip".
