My whole childhood has been from one accident or mishap to another. I’ve stepped on a rusty nail, broken my arm, broken a finger on a tetherball pole, and jumped out of a moving golf cart and scraped up my face. Being a klutz makes you live just a little more cautiously.

When you’re a klutz:

1. Shoes are always a must.
2. Bandaids live in your bags.
3. Bruises always appear, even if you don’t know where they came from.
4. There is a box of old bandages and slings.
5. There is always a story to tell.
6. Your parents are always worried.
7. You trip over lines and nonexistent objects.
8. You check the road more than once before walking across the street.
9. You always buckle up.
10. You know your doctor and nurse by first name and they know you.
11. Even easy athletics turn into a battle.
12. You were always hurt during the sports’ seasons.
13. You are an expert at showering with your arm wrapped in plastic.
14. You walk into walls, doors, and other people.
15. You have fallen both down and up the stairs (yes it is possible).
16. You have built up a high pain tolerance.

When you’re a klutz, life is rough but you always have a great story!
