Yes many times, in the snow, in the water, playing sports, waking or running through paths in nature trails. Yes one time at work I was climbing up one of the racks to get something, something we aren't suppose to do, slipped caught the underside of my jeans on a hook and ripped the heck out of my jeans. I was just lucky it wasn't a few inches off to the side or I would have ripped much more than my jeans off. I think I have ripped them a few times out in the woods also over the years.

LOL, Mocha. I am the same way. So, yes. It's a family joke about how clumsy I am. I have disgraced myself in every scenario you can imagine--walking up to speak before a crowd, in a busy office, walking with people I've just met, etc., etc. I also walk into corners of walls or bang my knees and elbows on anything and everything in my path. I had a co-worker tell me to slow down and I'd have fewer accidents. She was right; just never have learned to slow down! (That runs in the family, too.) No, never ripped my pants, but I did have my skirt fall down to my ankles in my office! It was smack dab in front of Scott, a supervisor who was the hunkiest guy in the entire building. Scott was blonde, had a terrific physique, startingly brilliant blue eyes and a Burt Lancaster jaw. He went to work out at lunch instead of eating. That decision showed in his rippling muscles--which made themselves apparent even hidden within his clothing. Uh, yes, I was married. But I still had eyes. We were literally working head to head in my small office on some project when I stood up to grab a folder from my counter. It was then that the elastic on the knit skirt gave way from dry rot (it wasn't tight, just old). I WAS wearing a half slip, thank goodness. But the mortification continues to today. (That was about 8 years ago.) All Scott did was turn red and say over and over, "I didn't see anything! I didn't see anything!" What did I do? What could I do? I bent over, grabbed my skirt that was sitting on the floor around my shoes--and pulled it up. That was the worst part of the entire incident. So embarrassing! Grabbed a safety pin from my drawer and quickly pinned it (under the bulky sweater top that went with it.) I sure didn't have the wherewithall to come up with a witty comment, either, which strained things further. I took a cue from him--cuz he didn't back out the door to give me some time to recover. Instead, I had to go on with our meeting. The last thing I wanted to do. I'm sure I made no sense whatsoever after that. Still flushing with embarrassment.

1. Yes. I fall all the time. Looks like I get the "falling up stairs" from my mother. But I am all-around clumsy. I'm always tripping and slipping. 2. Nope.

1. Yes In the early 1970's in the age of those god awful platform shoes, I was walking to my husbands ship on a Navy base covered with cables and train tracks and every other obstacle known to man, on a very rainy Virginia morning carrying my baby in my arms. My heal caught in one of those train tracks, but my momentum carried my body forward. It was like a scene in slow motion that I can still see in my mind's eye. As my body was falling forward, my only thought was to protect the baby at all costs. First my knee hit the asphalt, then I turned my body so that I would take most of the impact with my arm and shoulder, then just inches from the ground, I rolled the baby away from my body so that I wouldn't crush her...directly into a mud puddle! The baby was none the worse for wear (her pretty pink clothing was mighty dirty though). My pride was far more wounded than any part of my body. It's just a good thing that no one witnessed the event...except for a couple thousand sailors! Hubby still teases me about it to this day. Every mother's day he tells me what a good mother I was...then adds..."Well except for that whole throwing the baby in the mud puddle deal." 2. No

1. Queen of clumsy here, of course I've fallen down in public, lol. Too too many times, lol. My sisters favorite to retell was when we were in Morro Bay and walking and I fell off a 2 inch curb. I didn't see it and as I laid there on the ground they all walked by me like I wasn't even there! 2. Nope!

1) Yes. I could trip over my own shadow! My back is ruined from all my falls. Lots of stories, here are two: When I was little, I think I was in grade 2 or 3 at the time, I fell down the very steep stairs in our apt bldg with great regularity. Finally my mom took me to the doctor's office - and that's how we discovered that I needed glasses! My most embarrassing dumb-klutz story is this: Many years ago, when I was in high school, my best pal and I went shopping. We were at the top of a huge long and wide staircase and for no reason that I can recall, I said to my pal 'Carol, be really careful on the stairs!' Turned around, stumbled on the top step, and went flying ass over teakettle, tumbling down the stairs in the middle of the store, in front of all and sundry! I try to mind my own business now... Unsuccessfully, but I do try. LOL. 2) No. (Well maybe, but I can't remember so I'm gonna give myself the benefit of the doubt.)

LOL Pamy, my family is so used to me they can't help but do anything else. They know if I'm sitting there laughing (or in that case, laying there) that I'm fine.
