It’s not easy to be an astronaut’s (宇航員) son．Everybody expects you to be special or perfect(完美的)．I often wonder how my father ever had a son like me．I mean he’s so special and so good at everything he does．Even in middle school he was class president and captain of the football team．

Well，to be honest，I often dream about being some kind of hero or doing something special—like saving a child from a burning building or discovering（發(fā)現(xiàn)）a new star．I was daydreaming （做白日夢）at school one morning when my teacher said there would be a Father’s Day writing competition for the whole school．“I hope we have a winner right here in my class．”

When I got home，I started to think about what to write．My father is an astronaut．No，I wouldn’t start like that．That was the way others saw him．How did I see my father? Hmm．I saw him sitting with me in the dark when I had a terrible dream．I remembered how he hugged （擁抱）me for hours when my dog Spotty was killed by a car．Yes，these were the things I was going to write．To me，he wasn’t just a world-famous astronaut．He was my dad．

My parents and l went to school on Thursday night．There were so many people in the big hall! My dad looked at me，and I shrugged(聳肩)．The third prize was announced(宣布) and it was not me．1 was relieved(釋然)and disappointed（失望）at the same time．The second prize was announced．It was me．1 went up to the stage and read what I had written，“My father’s son”．When I finished，the people stood up and cheered．I saw my father blowing his nose．Tears were running down my mother's face．Dad cleared his throat（喉嚨）and put his hand on my shoulder．“Son，this is the proudest（自豪的）moment of my life．’’

It was the proudest moment of my life，too. Maybe I’ll never be a great hero or win a Nobel Prize，but it was enough just to be my father’s son．

Have you ever had an embarrassing (尷尬的) experience? Last week we asked readers to tell us about embarrassing experiences. We received thousands of letters! Here is a selection.

Tony: My most embarrassing experience happened when I had just left university. I had just started teaching in a Liverpool secondary school. One morning my alarm clock didn’t ring. I woke up at half past eight and school began at nine. I quickly washed, dressed, jumped into my car and rushed to school. When I arrived, the students had already gone into class. I didn’t go to the office, but went straight into class. After two or three minutes the students began laughing, and I couldn’t understand why! Suddenly I looked down and understood. I had put on one black shoe and one brown shoe!

Henry: The most embarrassing experience I’ve ever had happened two years ago. After seeing a film, my wife and I had lunch in our favorite restaurant in town. Then we decided to take a walk along the street. The street was very busy and we started holding hands. Suddenly my wife saw a dress in a shop window and stopped. I started looking at some watches in the next window. After a minute or two I reached for my wife’s hand. There was a loud scream, and a woman slapped (拍擊) my face. I hadn’t taken my wife’s hand！I'd taken the hand of a stranger!
