I'm getting old!

My body hasn't been treating me well lately, and I'm clumsy:

- On Monday morning, I woke up and began stepping down the ladder from my lofted bed. But my left knee wouldn't work (as in it just kept giving out every time I tried to put weight on it). So it ended up being more of a "jump/slide" down the ladder, to the floor where I sat on my knees. I tried once again to get up, but my left knee still wouldn't "lock", so I ended up crawling around on my floor for about 5 - 10 minutes or so before I finally felt stable enough to stand up, and even then I took steps cautiously. Weird (and, in a way, very funny).

- Today, I kind of "jumped" to get to the first step on the mini-staircase outside the south caf, when I kind of slipped and lodged my elbow/arm in between the railing and the wall. My elbow is sure to be bruised, and I got to be embarassed when I realized that 3 of my residents saw it happen.

Ha ha...it reminds me of this time when I was in Mexico after my freshman year in high school, and I was running to catch up with people and tripped on this wire/pipe thingy, landing flat on my face. I think I laid there for like 2 minutes before I'd realized what had happened, and I was mortified (and at the same time, laughing). I finally knew what it meant to land flat on my face.

what are some of *your* clumsy/hilarious stories?
