Feeling Embarrassed 


Lois: Please don’t embarrass me at the party tonight. 


Roger: Me, embarrass you? I’d never do that. 


Lois: You have, though, more than once. 


Roger: Name one. 


Lois: At the Johnsons’ party, you danced on the table while singing “I Am Woman”! 


Roger: I was being the life of the party. Everybody thought it was funny. 


Lois: It was humiliating! Didn’t you notice more than one person cringing 1 and the awkward silence in the room when your song ended? 


Roger: No, I didn’t, but I did notice Malik laughing his head off and the Johnsons smiling. 


Lois: That’s because Malik has your sense of humor and the Johnsons were humoring you. They were trying to put a good face on your impromptu 2 performance. 


Roger: I’m not going to be a wallflower just because you can’t take a joke. My exuberant 3 personality is what gets us invited to so many parties. 


Lois: Yeah, right. Can I at least get you to promise not to sing? 


Roger: And disappoint my audience? Not a chance!
