Random Funny Stuff

I have always had a knack for falling down, most of the time at very awkward moments. Like, on the 8th grade field trip down a big hill right into a pile of mud, in front of the whole grade and then having to stand buck naked in a bathroom stall while one of the mothers washed my clothes off in the sink and dried them under the hand dryer. At the bowling alley ending up half way down the lane with the ball still in hand. Running up on stage to accept and award. During a play almost knocking the set down. On ice in front of a truck full of guys in Idaho....in a skirt mind you. Actually, LOTS of times on ice up there in the north. Down the stairs. Up the stairs.... I am basically a hazard to myself.

One time my dad drove me to school with a dead dog in the back of the truck. One morning while getting ready for seminary, I noticed that there was a dead dog right outside of our fence. I guess he had gotten hit by a car and decided to come into our yard to take its last breath. Anyway, when I got home, he was gone. I had guessed that my dad cleaned it up but I didn't ask questions. Well, dad drove me to school that morning and as I was getting out of the truck I grabbed my backpack out of the back of the truck and noticed something big and black wrapped up in clear plastic painters tarp stuff. Clear and plastic. It was the dog. Dad didn't mention he was going to stop by the dump to throw him out after he dropped me off at school. And, he let me put my bag back there with it. I was so embarrassed.

One time, when I was bigger there was a guy in one of my classes who made the comment, "It ain't over till the fat lady sings" Then turned to me and said, "No offense"

Once I went to church without a bra...and had to sing in front of the whole congregation. Don't ask me how or why I forgot to put one on, that type of thing should be pretty noticeable. Good thing I had a big jacket on. I really hoped no one ever noticed.

I have worn clothes inside out too many times to count.

We all have our "grace" moments. I actually thought the singing in church without a bra was the funniest. Glad to know I'm not the only klutz in the world. If there's a crack in the sidewalk or floor, I'll find it and trip. =)
