I was dashing toward the trash can to throw away a stale cookie, not knowing that my mother just mopped the floor. As you might have guessed, I slipped and was in bed for the rest of the day.

Fell down the stair case at home due to slippery slippers and slid down on my back the entire way. Twice. Also pulled my small toe against chairs, and sprained both ankles at the same time.

My ex and I had hardwood on our staircase, he was in his house cleaning mood one morning when he got up. For some fool reason he decided to use Pledge furniture polish to wipe down the stairs. I slipped down the stairs right to the bottom. I don't know if that was a freak accident or a case of attempted murder. LOL

When I was still a hairstylist, I used to sweep the hair from around my chair after every client. First of all; because who wants to sit in a pile of someone else's hair--Ick!--second of all; dry hair on the floor is very slippery. I was coming back from the trash can after having swept up the hair from around my chair when I slipped on the hair around someone else's chair. My feet flew right up into the air like in a cartoon. I landed flat on my back. It was hysterical. All those years of being so careful not slip on my hair, and I end up on the floor anyway.

I dropped a biography of Adolf Hitler on my foot while I was at the library yesterday. Ouch...

I was helping a friend move furniture and a mirror fell, the corner of it slicing my shin to the bone. I didn't even know it broke the skin until my shoe got squishy from the blood dripping down my leg and accumulating there. I got ten stitches and a nice scar to show for it :)

I was carrying my 2 week old baby down stairs in the middle of the night and I slipped at the top of the stairs. Somehow I managed to lean back and hold her to my chest. She was fine but I ended up having the edge of the stair slam into my mid back. It took weeks for the pain to go away.

OK, but please don't laugh, this is me being truthful. When I was a baby, my uncle, who is 6'1", was throwing me up into the air and catching me. And one time he fumbled and dropped me on my head.

when i was about 8 i was riding on the back of my sisters bike (she was about 6). she wanted to learn how to ride with someone on the back of her bike so i climbed on. we went down the driveway and when we hit the bump at the bottom my left foot swung forward and got caught between the plate guarding the chain and the pedal. she pedaled as normal and the screw on the inside of the pedal cut a gash in my ankle about a half inch wide from my pinkie toe up to 1/4 of the way up my lower leg and down to my ankle bone, all in a nice big arc. it was too wide to stitch and too deep to leave alone so the ER doctors wrapped it and gave my parents instructions not to let me be upright at all for a couple of days and then no weight on it for a while after that. fun fun.

I was skateboarding when I was 12, ollied, and smashed my arm off the porch I was riding beside. My arm looked like an S.

Funny you should ask. I was in a deep sleep last night and woke at 3:30 to use the Ladies Room. It was very dark but I am used to it, but I forgot I left my sneakers close to the door after I cleaned mud of them. I tripped over them HARD and tried to break my fall which made it worse. My knee was bleeding, my arm is bruised, my hand is very painful and swollen, plus I bruised my hip and I hurt today. What a klutz I am LOL

I was walking down a steep trail by a river bluff, i decided to hop off a little ledge, when i landed my forward momentum carried me over the edge of a 20 foot ledge. I broke both my ankles and three vertabrae in my lower back, I didn't learn how to walk again for 7 months. I was good at doing wheelies in my wheelchair though :)

I had an "intimate accident" and had to get 15 stitches in a VERY weird place.
