Attack of the Toad
Jul. 3rd, 2005 01:00 pmI am so very graceful. Yes, you must all take lessons from the extreme grace that is me.
Last night we were standing around on the back patio. Barefoot. I went to take a step backwards and felt something distinctly squishy underneath my foot. It was a toad. A big fat one. I screamed and lifted my foot so as not so smash it. I had vivid images of toad guts flashing through my head. In my frantic attempt to save the toad's life, I stumbled backwards and tripped over a toy. Next thing I knew I fell flat on my butt. It was a tremendous fall- full of much flailing, yelling and pain.
I know you all envy my grace.
Grown ups aren't suppose to fall down like that! Aren't I too old to still be tripping so badly that I fall completely to the ground? This is the third time in the past two years!!
