Technical Application - Introductions

My eyes were wide and my vision was blurred. As the wet spot on the front of my pants grew larger and larger, my first-grade brain, with its limited intelligence, began furiously grasping at potential options for an escape or cover-up for the current situation. Perhaps if I had been some sort of wild animal the “fight or flight” instinct would have kicked-in and I would have run away. Instead, my brain worked itself into such frenzy that it overheated and temporarily shut down. I stood there on the playground staring straight ahead when finally the yelling and laughing of my fellow schoolmates allowed for one thought to finally spark my brain back into gear: You just peed your pants and everyone knows it.
