[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 273723, member: 6705"] When I was a small child I was so clumsy they put me in a special-ed class called "Kephart". No clue why it was called that. And no, it didn't help. Or maybe it [B]did[/B]... Sigh. I fall up stairs. I slide down them - fortunately I haven't fallen [I]forward[/I] down stairs yet. Doorknobs randomly reach out and grab my forearms. Last summer I had a [I]huge[/I] bruise on my arm and I had no idea where it came from, until a few days later I ran into the railing outside my office again. Same place. YOW. If there is ice, I will step wrong onto it. My posterior can tell you all about it. Last November when we found out what was up with difficult child 1, I ran outside to tell husband about CPS calling and tripped over the trailer hitch (stepped over the first part, then ran into the second part with my shin), resulting in a huge knot on my shin and a hairline fracture of my arm where I caught myself on the ground. (Hurt for weeks!) That said, I haven't been in a vehicle accident since 1997 (KNOCK ON LOTS OF WOOD) - wasn't my fault - and haven't had a ticket since 1992. Never have cut myself with a box cutter, which I use fairly frequently, or a kitchen knife. Run into a lot of walls though. Seems to be when I am ambulating that it's an issue. And I can[I]not[/I] walk and chew gum. Now husband and the difficult children... Wow. If coordination were a requirement... Well, they'd need remedial treatment. difficult child 1 sits perfectly still on the sofa and stubs her toe. difficult child 2 can be 5 feet from a cup and knock it over. husband hit someone's mailbox while arguing with children and ran a backhoe into the neighbor's Lexus.
