What A Clutz

Ouch!

I fell out of the car. My foot got caught in my monstrosity of a purse when I was trying to get out of the car. I landed on my knees on the pavement of the parking lot at the feet of strangers. Why did someone other than John have to witness the graceful exit I made? To top it off, the nice lady that I almost landed on, after exclamations of "Are you alright?" bent down and brushed the dust off my pants! Oh...I am so embarrassed. I think that John is right. My new purse is a menace. I think I will go and put everything back into my old purse.

I carry only a wallet these days. Keys and phone go into my pockets. It makes life so much easier!

What a nasty boo-boo!

I had took my wallet out of my purse to go into the store because I didn't want to carry that big bag in with me.

OUCH!! That looks and sounds painful. I'm sorry. Sounds like a smaller bag may be less precarious.

Sue said...

That looks very painful. And i was just thinking that I need to get a bigger purse...maybe not!

I hate falling down. I really hate falling down in front of Jack or Mitz, because they both laugh at me. When you fall down around people you know it is somewhat embarrassing, but in front of strangers...that is awful. That looks painful.

Oh that's so embarassing! Maybe buy a smaller one?

Since I can't go anywhere without some knitting, I always have a tote bag. It's just physically impossible. I can get away with carrying a small purse and throw all the rest of my crap in the tote bag.

Ummm, yeah. Be glad you didn't have me or my daughter with you. We would have laughed ourselves silly while asking you if you were alright.
One time I tried to step off the trampoline, like I had seen the boys do a hundred times. I didn't take into account that I was 52 at the time. I jammed my leg into the ground and collapsed. They were all concerned and asking if I was ok and getting more concerned because I wasn't answering them. I couldn't answer them because I was laughing so hard I couldn't breathe, much less talk. So if that would have been me falling out of the car I would have collapsed to the ground because I would have been laughing at myself so hard. Even small purses can trip you going out of the car. Take my word for it.
Sorry you scraped up your knee. I hope it heals quickly. Maybe put the purse up on the seat before you get out?

Christine said...

Oh...I was laughing.

The Invisible Mo said...

Oh, good. Glad you found it humorous, too!

Becky said...

I'm still laughing.
