I have no clue what I tripped on.

Once upon a Saturday morning, a woman named..Let’s leave names out of this..managed to trip over absolutely nothing, twice, before her first cup of coffee was even finished. Not a cord, not a rug, not even a sock. Just…air. Oxygen betrayed her ankles.

She was the kind of person who could get a paper cut from a banana peel and once sneezed herself right off a step. Yet somehow, she strutted through life with the unbothered grace of a cat who absolutely meant to fall off the counter.

Her knees? Constantly bruised. Her elbows? Always in a state of mystery injury. And yet, she walked. No!, pranced. Like a clumsy ballerina raised by a family of blind golphers.

When people asked how she stayed upright, she’d just smile and say,
“Oh, I don’t walk. I bounce and hope for the best.”

And bounce she did, right into life’s next adventure, probably headfirst, but always with a smile. Kinda.


Have a good day y'all

I do similar antics and have learned to fall so I don't get a severe injury. My wife says I look like a drunk person when walking and I think it is just because I am so relaxed. What is very funny however she seems to have a lot more bumps and scrapes even when I am not around to blame.
One expression I find myself saying is "It's always the little things that trip you up" but in this case I'd have to rephrase it as "Sometimes it the nothing that trips you up".
I'm glad bandages weren't required.

Awwww. I'm always here to bandage you up. And my order of bubble wrap is on its way to your door. Don't ever change. 🤗
@Livingwell I need that bubblwrap.

Someone be like 'damn, how'd you get that bruise?' And I tell them ' I don't know' they think I'm lying 😂

@Bexsy I'm the same way. I don't even remember where I get bruises as I'm focused on what I'm doing. I finally learned to wear long pants.

@Bexsy You know... there may be a market for designer clothing made of that pipe wrap foam. 🤔

Have you been spying on me? 👀 I went on a date the other week and I lost count of how many times I fell over

@Bexsy I’m a health and safety disaster. Luckily I’m in charge of H&S 🤣

Must be in a dense O2 layer pocket.
Bring in a vacuum. Hoover or Kirby should work....

Captainjackass · 31-35, M

Captainjackass · 31-35, M
@Bexsy you’d still trip nonstop.

I think the one word that describes all you mentioned is, spastic. Welcome to the club. LOL
