What is your most embarrassing/awkward childhood experience?

I have carried this sad embarrassing memory with me for at least 65 years.

I was a sweet boy of six living in a small Southern town. Our home backed up to a beautiful, forested area. I had a multitude of friends, one of which lived on the other side of the forested area. Our favorite game was playing cowboys. I owned a double holstered set of pearl handled cap pistols. They were the pride of my young life.

I had visited my friend on the other side of the forest, was on my way home for dinner, and as I reached the half way point through the forest, I had a bowel problem.

I immediately took off my holster and guns, dropped my pants, and took care of my emergency situation. Once done, I pulled up my pants, and ran home before I had another bowel problem.

It wasn't until I got home that I realized I had left my pearl handled revolvers at the site of my bowel problem.

My mom wouldn't let me go back out to look for my guns because it was getting dark. The search would have to wait until the next day.

I NEVER FOUND MY PEARL HANDLED CAP GUNS.

Now, any time I see a set of pearl handled guns, be it on the movie Patton, on an episode of Antiques Roadshow, or on a TV western re-run, it brings back that sad and embarrassing episode.
