Yet again, my inherent physical grace warrants accolades.

[LaraMN]

I went to Sophie and Jack's preschool to help chaperone their field trip to the post office.
We had to walk the kids all of a block-and-a-half to the site.
Well, the kids were all marching along in line, I walking next to them, we were on a steep hill, it was icy, and I slipped.
I didn't *just* slip, though.
In my flailing attempts to avoid falling, I smacked a little kid in the head with my arm, and when I fell, I slid about five feet, and took out two of the preschoolers, in the process. One of them cried, and another one kept calling me "the falling Mommy," for the rest of the day.

Story. of. my. life.
:rofl:

1. You need to switch to flat-soled boots.

High heels are going to kill you.

:P

[LaraMN]

3. They were thick high-heels, though.

:rofl:
I thought I was ok wearing them.

[bleedingheart]

2. I am glad to hear that other folks are as graceful as I am...

I am assuming everyone was okay....

thanks for the laugh...

[LaraMN]

7. You're welcome.

My consistent demostrations of idiocy are a great source of amusement to those around me;
like when I got out of the car during the automatic car wash and part of my head and neck got waxed.

4. That's so funny

I've fallen in several public and embarassing ways but I've never taken out a flock of pre-schoolers in the process.

Did anyone have a video camera?

[LaraMN]

9. No video camera.

I'm SO disappointed for that...
:P

[lizziegrace]

5. Bowling with preschoolers!

Only you're not supposed to use them as the pins...

:rofl:

[LaraMN]

10. Whatever amuses me...

no one is safe from my cloddish antics!

[KitchenWitch]

6. Stunning Grace is my middle name!

:rofl:

Boy do I feel you there!

:hi:

[LaraMN]

11. Maybe it's a tall thing?

I do hit my head on shit alot.

[KitchenWitch]

14. I think it is a tall thing.

Higher center of gravity and all! And in my case, a bit on the top heavy side as well.

:bounce::bounce:

[LaraMN]

18. Ah HAH! It's my gianormous, heavy BRAIN screwing up my balance!

Well- it isn't the knockers, so I can only assume.

[KitchenWitch]

26. LOL

I have double duty - my ginormous brain and 'the girls'

:rofl:

[wildhorses]

8. ---

:rofl:

:loveya:

:hug:

:hi:

[LaraMN]

12. Hey you!

:hi:
:hug:

[InternalDialogue]

13. Aww! The Falling Mommy.

In about ten years, when some kids still call you that, no one will remember why. It'll be cool then!

[LaraMN]

16. Unless it turns into "Mrs. W must have been a drunk, because I remember..."

:rofl:

[crim son]

15. And yet, isn't there a pic out there where you're holding something

in your mouth and balancing on one foot? I remember.... nah, must've been somebody else. :P

[LaraMN]

17. Lol!

I have my good moments.
:D

[ThomCat]

19. LOL! (that's not funny. I hope everyone's okay, but...)

:rofl:

:rofl:

I hope your kids don't inherent your grace and balance. Or at least, I hope they inherit more sensible boots.
:hug:

[LaraMN]

22. Lets hope so!

My medical insurance isn't *that* great!

[Cabcere]

20. Thank you for sharing that

:rofl: It's a great story (I'm assuming everyone is okay - no serious injuries or anything?), and it almost makes me feel better about the time I got pantsed by a treadmill in front of just about everybody in the gym (and a mirrored wall, to boot). Almost. ;) :hi:

[LaraMN]

21. Bwahaha!

You did not! Omg!
(I lost a pantyliner at the gym, the other month.)

[Cabcere]

23. Oh, I totally did.

At least I was wearing underwear, lol...but it was still pretty embarrassing. :blush: It's a funny story to tell, though! :hi:

[matcom]

24. that is EXACTLY what I like to do to preschoolers!

:hide:
























:rofl:

[LaraMN]

25. Once again. I've done your work for you.

Now you get to go to the gym for me.
