Graceful isn't exactly the word I would use in describing myself as I practically trip over nothing on the daily. My friends have even come to learn that we can't go near easily breakable things in stores because I'm known for knocking things over. Think you're on the same boat? Here are a few signs you're just as clumsy as I am.
1. Every Electronic You Own Has to Have a Protective Case.
"I will protect you," I whisper to new iPhone as I get a $60 case because I know in 10 minutes I'll drop it on the pavement. Then frantically pick it up and make sure there are no scratches, as I look as my mom with the "I'm sorry" grin on my face making sure she knows that "being more careful" isn't possible because I was doing my best.
2. But Your Electronics Still Have a Crack in Them.
3. You Avoid Store Displays at All Costs.
Walking into a store and immediately thinking, "I'll know that over," is a common thread for us clumsy folk. You knock one down, you knock them all down. And you know you'll knock one down.
4. You Barely Have Control of Your Arms.
Once I was in Target and I put on a wig and exclaimed "I'm Hannah Montana!" As my arms flared outwards and hit an old man in the face. I said sorry as I ran away as fast as I could.
5. You're so Used to Tripping it Doesn't Even Phase You Anymore.
Sure, it used to phase you, but after the millionth time you trip, not even winter can phase you. Let them laugh, bring on the scraps, it doesn't even hurt anymore. You're basically bulletproof.
6. You're a Walking Tornado, But You've Accepted it.
Watch out because here come you! There's a 90% chance you'll destroy everything in your path, but you're always hoping for that 10% chance you've have an average human day. You know it's not likely, but why would you ever want to be any other way? Embrace and accept your clumsy ways, my friend.
