Falling Down.

falling
I am a clumsy person.
If there is something to trip over, step on, break or hit, I will probably be the person to do it.

Yay me.

I consider it to be one of my few talents.

Sometimes I will even think to myself "That would really suck if I fell down these stairs while carrying this breakable vase."

*crash*

Or I will tell myself to hold on to the bowl of water carefully so I don't drop it while carrying it somewhere.

*splash*

Um. Yeah.

I could tell you about that time I was showing my fellow grade 4 friends how well I could flip over the monkey bar things in the playground.....and then fell flat on my face.

Or the time I showed my mom how I could slide down the stairs without bending my knees. And then hit my back and knocked the wind out of myself.

Orrrr.....the time I was getting out of the tub and as my first leg went over the sliding door edge of the tub, I slipped. And ended up black and blue all over my yoohoo.

Ouch.

Then there was that time I almost fainted during my own wedding ceremony and almost had to sit down while the minister was talking about love.

And the time I fell down the stairs while VERY pregnant and had to go right to the hospital for an emergency stress test.

Twice.

Or there was that time not too long ago that I lost my footing and broke my foot.

But all of those stories would just confirm my clumsiness.

So I wont.



Go here to see more workshop posts.

Wishing all of my American blog friends a very Happy Thanksgiving!

And here I thought I was clumsy. Have a great day - but be careful!

Haha, I don't think I'm as clumsy as you are, but when I was in the 7th grade I fell and tore my jeans open on the way to the bus. I went back and changed because I had time... and I did it AGAIN, haha. That was such a bad day.

Oh my goodness, you've certainly had your share of mishaps. My son is like that. We call him "crash." Hope you have a nice Thanksgiving.

Sara said...

I feel your pain. Managed to fall down the steps today into our foyer. Just because :)

RELIEF! I'm so glad I'm not the only clumsy one around! LOL With me, if I didn't lose it (whatever object of interest) in the first place, I'll drop it, kick it, step on it and/or trip over it!
