 Jennifer's Most Memorable Accidents..... There are many more, but head injuries affect memory. 1. I shut my own head in a car door. (See July 3, 2003 Blog for details.) 2. I was excused from gymnastics practice when I failed to make contact with the 2nd paralel bar and went flying. 3. I lost my balance and ended up seated on a (now broken) marble chess board...with all the pieces on it. 4.
I was doing ladder work in front of a business by a busy street. I
lost track of how many steps there were on my ladder and still had one
to go when I stepped off - into the air. I landed flat on my back on
the concrete. I was horrified and got up so quickly that it probably
looked like I BOUNCED off the concrete. 5. I put my finger in the mouth of a yawning cat. HINT: Carnivores have very sharp teeth. | A few things that Ginger has done to herself and others... 1.
My blender was on and unplugged, I put the hot stuff in and leaned over
the blender and plugged it in... No, there was no lid on it at the
time. Surprisingly I was not hurt; however I still find spots of the
stuff when I clean my kitchen. 2.
Pregnant- soft sand- plastic lawn chair- I went over very slowly- and
there I was like a beetle its back- You get the picture. 3. I have actually stapled myself before. 4. I put a kitchen chair on my big toe and promptly sat down on the chair. 5. Trying (notice I said trying) to get out of a car with my seat belt still attached. 6. I have injured my husband many times while trying to put my arm around him... I think that he has finally learned to duck. 7.
While giving a friend a hug goodbye (you know who you are) our hoop
earrings (it was the early 90's) got stuck together and someone had to
rescue us. 8.
I was carrying a valuable new possession of Jennifer's across my
toy-strewn living room one afternoon and lo and behold, I tripped!! I
was careful not to damage the delicate item in my hands. However, I
sacrificed my head and left a chunk of hair stuck in a dent in the
sheetrock. |
