Most Embarrassing Moment From HS: One day in choir, everyone had to put their backpacks to one wall and cellphones in backpacks. Someone’s phone started going off in a bag, but Ms. Hartle did not have a phone at the time and assumed it was not her bag. It turned out her electric toothbrush was buzzing the whole time.
