Green? Cool! Mine are blue

I assume it has the gene for blue eggs but has enough brown pigment in it to give it a green cast.

So luckily not headstone worthy but I get a merit badge for "stupid injuries".
I have a terrible habit of putting things on the stairs that go into the house. The doors that lead from the backyard and the garage are across from each other. Standing at the back door the main house is to your right and the laundry room- 1/4 bath is to the left. So its a 4 way cross roads of sorts. Again terrible habit of setting things on the steps. Yesterday I made the plan to reclaim my laundry room. Cleaned off the washer and dryer which tend to be used as counter space. Organized the chicken cupboard because the laundry room is also the chicken treatment center. I start getting the stairs clear. Collecting random tools I used outside but didn't put back in the garage. Chicken meds I used while sitting on the stairs that didn't go back to the cupboard.
Clearing the stairs so no one trips and falls I fell down the stairs.
Skipped the last 2 and landed on the side of my foot rolling my ankle. Don't think anything is broken. Feels like a stepped on a big rock right in the middle of my foot and my ankle is swollen but not bruised.
Who falls down the stairs cleaning them so no one falls down there stairs?

Ouch, sounds like something I would do. Put ice on it to help decrease swelling.

Happy Sunday Everyone,

Went to church had a lazy afternoon. Saw a rainbow just above the roof of the old farmhouse. It was quite interesting. I've never seen a rainbow that low unless I was spraying a house. Unfortunately, the sun went behind the clouds and the rain stopped just as I got my phone to take pictures.

Don't feel bad. I've only had one broken bone. Guess how I did it? I broke my ankle standing up while getting out of bed. NOTE: DO NOT stand on a foot that is so asleep that you can't feel it at all. That means your muscles aren't working and your foot arch will collapse when you stand on it. I chipped a corner off my cuboid bone in my right ankle doing this.

@FlyingNunFarm I just remembered another stupid injury.

When I was a kid (12-14) we lived in a neighborhood. We moved in to take care of my dad's parents. Well, I figured out how to ride my bike all the way around the block without touching my handlebars except for the last 100 ft on the uphill side of the block. I know, really stupid. I didn't slow down for intersections because that would screw with my momentum. Fortunately, the development wasn't that busy and we weren't on one of the main drive through paths.

Well, one day, I decided to ride my bike, without hands, while eating a granola bar. Needless to day, that didn't end well. I hit a stick, then a speed bump, then another stick and I ended up facing the direction I came from on the curb just inches from hitting my unhelmeted head on a mailbox post. I still have a 9 inch scar on my right forearm down to my elbow and less visible one on the outside of my right knee, the one on the inside of my left knee healed cleanly and I can't see where it was. This is amazing because that scab kept cracking open any time I walked. Fortunately for me, two ladies were walking on the sidewalk and helped me get home.

I've had several stupid biking incidents when I was young. I stuck my foot in the spokes of the front wheel. I was trying to imitate something I saw other kids do by making a noise with my shoe. Not actually stick my foot in the tire. Well, I flipped the bike over the front tire with myself on it. Nothing broken but I was scratched up and bruised.
I had a no handed accident too. Was at a house down the street and we made some paintings. I wanted to bring the ones I did home so got on my bike with one painting and had the girl I was with hand me the second. I got going and all was good till it was time to stop. I hadn't thought that far ahead. And instead of ditching the paintings and braking I crashed, into two pine trees. Paintings were ruined anyway and I was scratched up and full of sap.

Dumbest thing just happened to me, im talking duhuur duhhh dumb and what makes it ten times worse I was warned about potential dumb if I read bottles.
Iv'e been filling a pump bottle with castille soap for years no big deal, seriously it was really handy.
Well today I pumped and it launched soap dead my eye.
Big don't put castille soap in pump bottles in teeny letters on the bottle.
