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 cringing1 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 impromptu2 performance. 

Roger: I’m not going to be a wallflower just because you can’t take a joke. My exuberant3 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!
