I can’t believe how clumsy I am.
- Every year, it seems like I get worse and worse, though! I am always doing something dumb to hurt myself.
Once, I gave myself a concussion when I opened the cabinet door onto my head. Another time, I fell down a hill and broke my arm when I was picking blueberries. It’s always something with me. This year, when the weather started heating up, I decided that I was going to try and put my window unit air conditioner in all by myself. Usually it takes two people to put the A/C in the window, but I thought that I would do it alone this year, just so that I could get it done. My dad was busy and usually he helps me, but I was feeling impatient and I just really wanted to go ahead and get it done. So against my better judgement, I took the A/C down from the storage cabinet in the garage and started to carry it upstairs to my bedroom. It was heavy and awkward to carry, and if I had been smart then I would have just set it down and waited for my dad to come over. I just really didn’t want to spend one more hot night in my bedroom without my window unit A/C. I guess being stubborn like I am is really not the greatest thing, though. As I was struggling with getting the A/C unit up the stairs, I missed a step. The whole A/C unit flipped over and the corner of it landed right on my shin.
