Well, I have a story to tell about being a clutz, and why it's unwise to leave stuff on the floor in my path. Yesterday I started cleaning out my kitchen cabinets to make room for all the stuff I have crammed in them. Last night I got into the cabinet with my plastic storage containers and spread them all over the floor. Then I neatly stacked them up and decided I would finish with them today. Big mistake.
I got up this morning and fixed breakfast for the kids and got stuff ready to go. I walked all around this stuff and never once ran into anything. Then I decided to have a bowl of cereal. Bowl in hand I turned to walk to the table and stepped on a plastic lid. Now remember I have tile floors now. I went "ice skating" across the floor on my left foot and couldn't stop. I got my first flying lesson with my right leg high in the air, and then dropped the bowl. Of course it broke. I landed square in the middle of the kitchen floor yelling DAMN! on the way down. My son asked me if I had broken my leg and I assured him I hadn't. Just my ego. Though I wasn't entirely sure something wasn't hurt. My husband came in and admonished me for cussing in front of the kids and then left. I "thanked" him for asking if I was okay. To which he informed me that since I was just sitting there he figured I wasn't hurt. He then helped me clean up.
I started making jokes about ice skating in the kitchen and that had not been my plans for this morning. I'd rather be making jokes now than telling people well I'm on crutches because......

Glad your okay! That is soooo something I would do. I have terrible peripheral vision, and therefore trip ALL THE TIME over stuff on the floor.
You couldn't pull out some of your old dancing moves and played it off? tee hee...
Glad you weren't hurt!
Am I allowed to laugh? Ah, heck. You know I laughed a little bit. AFTER I found out you are OK, though.
Crutches are BAD. Crutches would mean you couldn't dance with me when I come home!
At least now you know where your ego is located.
JY: Even with good peripheral vision I do that so I'm no sure that makes much difference. If it's there I'm going to run into it or trip over it. And people wonder why I'm always covered in bruises. :)
Sam: Believe me I tried some of those dance moves and it didn't help. I don't think the kids would have bought Mom was just goofing around. The look of fright on my face would have given me away.
Siren: I don't like crutches. I must dance when you come home.
Don: Yep, right where my butt is. ;)
