I Pepper Ghosted Myself! - Page 3

I have zillions but from just this weekend. Walking over to the 5K start trying to get the girls awake and excited. I turn around so I'm waking backwards and immediately back into a bench which hits me right behind the knees causing me to fall backward flat onto the bench. But it was quite graceful.

I got to witness this one

Madzer wouldn't walk anywhere close to her after the fall. Nothing more embarassing to a tweener than mom doing prat falls in public.

Of course, none of us warned her that she was about to fall over backwards because we couldn't believe she didn't see the HUGE stone bench that had been right in front of her eyes.

But, that's why we love katiesue. She always makes us look good

I fell once onstage. During a speech for classroom president in grade school. I think I won because everyone laughed at me falling.

Once during a performance of "Fiddler on the Roof", I totally blanked on the lyrics to my solo song. "Miracle of Miracles" just went right out of my head. The orchestra leader clued me in. I was mortified but it worked with the bumbling character (Motel the Tailor) that I was playing... I still get an adrenaline rush when I think about that flub.

"Blunder of blunders,
Ridicule of ridicules,
God took a Cricket by the hand,
Blanked out his mind then
ridicules of ridicules
helped by leader of the band"

I love reading this Thread, because I know I'm not completely alone! I have more doozies that I just remembered. And they weren't commited by just me. My Dad would kill me for outing him like this, but fortunately, his occured umpteen years ago:

*He once ripped open a steamed bag of peas. With his teeth. You can imagine how his face felt.

*He snipped a wire. While it was still plugged in. The whole house lost power & the scissors melted.

I think where we tend to go wrong is with the fact that we both have zero patience. So, instead of taking a second to think things through and then act, we just get all irritated and impulsive because GOD FORBID we wait more then 2 seconds for anything.

*I once fried bacon. In denim short-shorts. Naturally, grease popped, splattered and hit my upper thigh. Golly, I sure had a nice welt for awhile.

*I know that you can't microwave metal. However, one morning, years ago, I decided to heat up a silver metal Starbucks carafe in the microwave. I checked it completely- nowhere did it say "Do not place in microwave" (probably because they assume even the most ass-backward jackhole should know this). I placed it inside, shut the door, pressed the minute buttons and POOF! The entire inside of the microwave went up in flames. I had to drag my now late boyfriend out of the shower to extinguish it. I've also attempted to microwave foil butter packets. Don't do it.

*I once threw my unnecessary mail into my fireplace. What faster way to rid myself of it? However, I threw in windowed envelopes. It resulted in the most vile plastic burning smell. My neighbors were in my front yard, concerned there was a house fire.

Aw! That just reminded me of the time my late boyfriend turned up the gas super psycho-high in the fireplace. He lit a long match, tossed it in and KABLAMMO! Flames flew past the screen and singed our Christmas stockings. The flames reached well above the mantle. I screamed and then died laughing. Why, I don't know, considering one of my greatest fears is fire. How ironic that many of my past follies revolve around accidentally igniting objects?

I have always been the very model of grace and decorum.

Years ago there was a work-related dinner at this restaurant on a boat that used to be in Newport Beach (the Princess Louise?). The banquet room was at the bottom of the stairs. The boat shifted a little in the water as I walked down the stairs and I made my grand entrance by falling into the room.
