Readers, I want to share with you a very short excerpt of an embarrassing moment in my life from my memoir, 'My Life as a Banker: A Life Worth Living.'
"When we left Orlando, we went to Miami where we spent a few days in a hotel so that we could go shopping. On the day we were about to return home we were awakened at four o’clock in the morning by the loud ringing of the fire alarm. We heard other hotel guests shouting, “Fire! Fire!’ We jumped off our beds and started panicking.
I grabbed all of our passports and tickets and left everything else in the room. We ran out the room and followed other guests down the fire escape. When we finally reached the bottom of the stairs, we saw everyone staring at us. They said it was a false alarm but they still kept staring at us.
I suddenly realized that I was in a long see-through nightgown with all the passports and tickets in my hand. My husband was in his short pants and my sister and the children were in their nightclothes too. My daughter who was just five years old was hiding behind me and she said that she saw everyone staring at us through my nightgown. We rushed back to our rooms in embarrassment, and although it was rather early, we got dressed and went to the airport to await our flight home."
