Here’s cringe. When I was six or seven, I quoted anything I thought was cool from shows or movies. Immediately I knew that I sounded stupid, and I think I cried my way back to my room.
back in Middle school, I finally got the courage to ask out my crush, only to have my belt break, pants fall down, and trip right in front of her in the process.
Story time!
So we were studying the Salem Witch Trials, and when we were almost done with them we had a debate on which cause was most likely. My luck being mine, I got put on the team debating that real witchcraft was involved.
We were given a piece of paper detailing some evidence on why to believe that witches were involved. One of the reasons was that some lady had dolls resembling town members with pins in them. When we presented that, the next team got up and one kid (who is pretty much the master of cringe) said, and I quote, “Obviously team 1’s point is invalid due to the fact that the pinning of dolls is voodoo, not witchcraft.” I nearly died of cringe.
