You may be a little uncoordinated if you can relate to at least two or three of these things. You’re probably clumsy if you can relate to five or six of the following signs. And, you’re definitely a full blown klutz, like me, if you can relate to eight or more of these. I hope, for your sake, that you can’t relate. Life can be a little painful sometimes.
You’ve been attacked by a stick or something similar, because you were trying to do something cool. For me, a giant stick attacked while I was trying to spin it like a bo staff. Let’s just say that this bear does a better job than I did, and I ended up with a nice scratch on my neck.
You constantly hit your head, on everything. The wall, the ceiling, the top bunk, literally places you didn’t even think possible, you have managed to smack with your noggin.
You swear the furniture moves. And, that’s why you smashed into the wall, and tripped over the carpet. It wasn’t your fault. Everything is just out to get you.
You always have an ice pack on hand. It may be just having two or three in your freezer, or it could be those disposable ones that you have to shake. I, myself, didn’t have one in my freezer this semester, but I did have frozen green beans that did the job just as well.
Your friends are no longer concerned with your injuries. When your friends receive Snapchats with you holding an ice pack on your head containing the words “just another bump on the head..,” they aren’t worried. They usually just counter that with, “what did you do this time?” They know that you’re probably okay, because you’re used to it.
Band-Aids. You have them everywhere, including, but not limited to, your purse, backpack, and car. You also have a myriad of different sizes and shapes. You never know why you’ll end up needing to stop the bleeding. You don’t even bother getting the cool Band-Aids anymore, because they’re too expensive. You buy plain Band-Aids, in bulk.
You’ve wondered if you’re invincible. Because the worst thing that has ever happened to you is a little blood, it is quite possible that maybe you never will hurt yourself to the point of destruction.
Walking is a struggle. There are so many people that claim they can walk in heels. But, you know that even walking in flats or flip flops can be a struggle. Sturdy gym shoes are the safest bet, and even then you will probably trip over your shoelace.
Your wounds are a source of pride. You’re actually kind of impressed that you have so many bruises, scratches, and scars that you don’t remember getting. But, the ones you do remember, usually make for great stories.
Stairs. Not only do you fall down the stairs, but somehow, you are talented enough to trip up them as well. Why can’t the world just have ramps? Who needs stairs anyway?
Well, I’m hoping you managed to only relate to a few of these. Otherwise, buy a helmet, maybe some bubble wrap, and definitely make sure you have insurance. Protection is important from whatever life throws at you! Try to stay on your feet, become graceful, and avoid any super serious injuries.
