Stupidest thing

What's the stupidest thing you've EVER done? That thing where you did it and like a little later you were like "Why....did...I....do...that...Arrrrgh."

I only mention it because today I dropped two pennies into a steering wheel.

EVER??? thats too hard mate. how about today. i was taking a holiday programme with 40 kids in it (a "Why....did...I....do...that...Arrrrgh" on its own) i demonstrated a lunge, slipped on a stone (we were outside cos inside was too small) an ended up in the splits. then later as i was packing up and carrying everything out the the car i was talking to one of the kids and fell into a hole, killed my knee, bashed my head on a tree branch and fell over. i should have just stayed in bed today its the holidays. I DONT CARE!!! *might start to cry*

Oh god, there's a million things that I wish I never did. I'm sort of prone to embarrassing "oh my god, I didn't mean to do/say that" incidents. I just can't think of one, right now.

Two pennies in the steering wheel, eh? Makes me want to super glue a toonie on to the ground/floor somewhere (maybe at school) and watch people try to pick it up! Hehehehe!

Oh! I remember when I was in elementary school, I was walking in one direction and signing to someone else behind me, and all of a sudden I go *crash* into a metal trash can and topple over and spill trash. ARgh, that was embarrassing!

I once left my fencing bag with 2 epees in them on the ground in a car park while talking to a friend. It got rolled over by a volkswagon beetle driven by another friend who was reversing out of a lot crushing the guards of both epees. Lucky for me the blades were not broken or bent, the guards took all the impact. Still have one of them for display and a reminder of my stupidity.

When I was 17, I tried to turn off a light switch with a side kick. Wearing snow-covered boots. On a slick floor. Tore the tendons in my left knee and it still bothers me, 27 years later.

OK another one when i was like 6 i was in the supermarket and i really wanted this bag of sweets (mmm sugar) and i ran up to my mother saying "mummy, mummy can i get these?" ONLY it wasnt mum!! i was sooo embarassed i ran out of the shop and stayed out by the car till it was time to go home. basically i am one big screw up do dumb things every day. This afternoon (after this mornings holiday programme) we had a photo shoot for our fencing calendar fundraiser, we had to hold little candles in our hands. I burnt my glove, ruined the photo shot and bumped someone else at the same time making him burn his jacket. i really should not have got up today. you want anything else? i have done so many dumb things theres not enough room in my brain to fit them all and i (thankfully) forget about them until something triggers my memory.

One time one of my friend's mom came into school (this was when I was in public school, mind you) and I asked him what his grandma was doing here. *hits head* Another time I was fencing and I tripped over myself and fell face first onto the ground and the whole club stopped what they were doing to look at me. Thank goodness I had my mask on because my face flushed red, and oh it was dreadfully embarrassing. They all came over to me, "Are you ok? What happened? Are you hurt?" and the guy that I was fencing would fence me until I took off my mask so he could see if I was hurt. Argh. There are too many to put.. but as I think of them I'll gladly share.

Yeah, when I was little I always used to either take other people's shopping carts (not on purpose, I swear!) or go up to a random woman who I thought was my mom and put stuff in her cart (not being sexist, my dad's not allowed to shop for groceries because he always buys the completely wrong thing and loses his atm card/wallet/car). Today I got a 77 on my first essay of the year because I decided to write about my dog instead of the topic...

One time in the car, I was in the front seat and decided to take a spider wed off of the side mirror with my finger, well a spider came out and I freaked out so I tried to get it off by shutting the window. Not smart. I ended up closing the window on my hand and then I was startled (it hurts!) so I pressed down harder. One of my shining moments. Another time I was doing the dishes and I put handsoap in the dishwasher, so when I went to check on them the kitchen floor was covered in bubbles and mom was laughing too hard to scold me.

Well, during a night of stupid things I learned the valuable lesson of never driving across a pedestrian bridge, among other things.

One time, I was walking down the stairs with my laundry basket on my hip and tapping away at my pager on the other hand. Then there was a guy on the bottom of the stairs who wanted to talk to me, so I put the pager in my laundry basket and then started to sign to him with my free hand. Then I proceeded to the laundry room and put my clothes in, and not only until I felt the *bang* *bang* of the pager hitting the sides and into the water, did I realize what I had done
