Childhood Nicknames
Ξ July 28th, 2009 | → 2 Comments | ∇ Everyday Stuff |
I was reminded of the childhood nickname that my parents gave me the other night. I was in the kitchen doing dishes and threw something away, then turned around and ran into the wall with the left half of my body.
Then took a step back, started walking, and bumped into the fridge with the right half of my body.
My childhood nickname? Bumper, or Christy-Bump.
Given due to my tendency to walk face first into walls as soon as I learned how to walk.
It’s no secret that I’m clumsy.
The thing about being clumsy, though, is that it just makes life so much harder.
I mean, I hate dishes enough as it is. But then I walk into walls and refrigerators. And then I try to get a measuring cup out, only to drop the entire stack of measuring cups, scattering them across the kitchen.
And then I’m carrying a dirty dish across the room, which I somehow manage to drop, scattering chips across the kitchen floor that was mopped just a few hours earlier. And then?
I somehow manage to step on several chips, scattering their crumbs across my now dirty floor.
It’s a wonder I ever go into the kitchen at all. Some day I’m going to give myself a concussion bumping into something.

So then how does exercising go for you?

I have issues that way also, but it only happens in spurts. And then my husband asks me if I am pregnant. To which I answer an emphatic “NO!”….but it always makes me a little nervous for a day or two afterward.
