Sometimes I Drool

We've been best friends since high school:
       Melany, Kristin, Cathy, and Sarah.

It was--oh, probably junior year. We were at the mall. My friends followed me into a jewelry store to get my mother's old ring sized on my finger. I perched on a stool while the nice lady behind the counter helped me. My friends watched, making fun of my stubby digits. Business complete, I thanked the nice lady and we walked out of the store, whereupon they all three turned on me at once and yelled,
OH MY GOD, KRISTIN!!!!!
I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU DID THAT!!!!
I have never felt so absolutely clueless.
WHAT??? WHAT DID I DO???

YOU DROOLED IN FRONT OF THAT NICE LADY IN THE STORE!!!!

I DID NOT!!!!

YES YOU DID!!!! DIDN'T YOU SEE THE WAY SHE LOOKED AT YOU FUNNY???

SHE DID NOT!!!!

YES SHE DID!!!! WHEN YOU WERE SITTING THERE TALKING TO HER, A STRING OF DROOL CAME OUT OF YOUR MOUTH, HUNG THERE OFF YOUR LIP FOR A SECOND, THEN FELL!!!

IT DID NOT!!!!

YES IT DID!!! SEE????
And they pointed down at the left leg of my GAP shorts, and there on the lavender denim was a pea-sized dark dab of drool.

I'm pretty sure if you look up "mortification" in the dictionary, you'll find a picture of my face at that moment.
