014: Conversations: Name an Embarrassing Moment you’ve had as an Adult

Today David and I ask each other a series of questions to get the conversation going, then we stop ourselves as idioms, phrasal verbs, or interesting vocabulary words come up in conversation. A sample of what is covered: idiom ‘stuck between a rock and a hard place’, phrasal verb ‘to draw out’, what is Teflon? We ask each other these questions: Name an embarrassing moment you’ve had as an adult, what’s one thing you’d like to change about yourself, what’s one thing you love about yourself, and what’s the best job you’ve ever had?
