I shamed myself

So I am doing a field experience this semester. I spend one day a week in an elementary classroom. I've got a wonderful group of second graders (officially my favorite grade!).
Yesterday, my cooperating teacher (CT) gave me a small group of kids who were having a little trouble with regrouping. I took them to the nook and got out the base ten blocks. We were doing well. I would have one kid do a problem on the dry erase board while the others worked the problem with the blocks. I identified where their problems were coming in and decided that we should all work a few problems together to make sure they were all clear on all the steps.
Then, the unthinkable happened:
Me: Come over here kids, we are all going to sit on the floor. Get your base ten blocks.
Kids: Okay.
[I get down on the floor and FART]
Me: 
.......Excuse me. I am very sorry. Now come over here and sit down.
Kid: I'm not coming over there
Other kids: Tee-hee-hee
I was so embarassed. I can't believe that happened. I wish I'd had one of these

OMG Regina!!!!!!!!!!!!! I almost peed my pants right now reading this!!!! How embarassing! I bet you could have gotten away with it in a room of mature adults but kids will totally call you out on stuff like that. Oh man, I'm sorry it happened to you but that is WAYYYY too funny!
That is so funny. I needed a good laugh. To make you feel any better I fell out of a chair in a restaurant in front of about 20 adults. I swore my husband to secrecy we were away from home. But now my secret is out. LOL its good when you can laugh at yourself.
OMG that is just to funny wish I had a few to hand out to hubby and grandson. Sorry about your being embarrassed in front of all those kids but shoot things happen glad you can laugh about it.grandma to 13

Oh Bless your heart. I have had that happen before but never when I was in a classroom full of kids. They can make the most secure adults feel shamed.
