Something to laugh with your grandkids about.No apology necessary. And you would be right about a "few" expletives. lol
When I told hubby I had fallen, I said it was like on the cartoons, both feet in the air, full banana peel slip! Then when I reviewed the replay, I proved myself right.
I was mostly mad because I had a whole scoop of feed in my hand that ended up on the ground.
A glorious fall indeed! I did one of those a couple of winters ago. After my hip replacements, I was scared to death to fall, fearing I’d dislocate one of them. Then I did that. Got up and told DH, “Well, now I know they’ll hold!”Dang Penny, you ok? Do we need to order new bubble wrap?
I don’t think I shared my fall with you all. Yep, this is me busting my ass last month in the rain. Go ahead and laugh, I do, every time I watch it.
Do not tempt fate!
That poor meter reader. I’m sure he’s still telling people that story.
Years ago my sister (who had a very weird sense of humor) sent me some obnoxious platform slippers covered in a hideous purple, green, pink faux fur. She must’ve been peeing in her pants laughing when she packaged them up to mail to me.
Long story short, as a joke I put them on & had been walking around the house in them. A meter reader had walked up the road & was calling me from outside the fence. Not hearing him drive up, he took me off guard & I ran out to the deck in my new Ru Paul foot wear. I was trying so hard to not fall down the stairs, but I was less careful when I got to the bottom. I hit our sloped yard in those beasts, turned ankle & went straight down. Once on the ground gravity took hold & I rolled to the bottom of the hill. All the while the meter guy is trapped outside the fence running with me as I roll & yelling, “Oh! … Oh! … Oh!” I wasn’t physically hurt, but my pride was wounded beyond repair. I got up covered in dirt, dead grass & chicken poop, grabbing the killer slippers from the various spots they fell off along the way & waving to the guy, “I’m ok, I’m ok.”
Of course my family thought this was the funniest thing ever.
And this is why I like both of you.As a kid I was playing with a suction cup... stuck it on the middle center of my forehead right as there was a knock on the door...
I answered the door, it was the FedEx man, and he needed a signature.
So I signed the paper on his clipboard, got the package, .... wondering the entire time why he was looking at me so oddly.....
And as I closed the door I remembered... right! Suction cup on forehead!!!!
I wonder what he thought it was.
You make me feel more normal or at least not alone.
