Are you born clumsy ?
« on: July 18, 2010, 11:23:50 AM »
I am not particularly clumsy or accident prone but The Brat on the other hand is a walking disaster area, no matter how many warnings or 'watch outs' are dispensed.

She has just made her breakfast, a complicated procedure which involves shaking the cereal out of the box and into the bowl and floor. Liberally pouring on the milk, some of which actually makes the bowl . Then sprinkling on half a bag of sugar and spreading this generously on the worktops.

She proceeded to then walk into the front room, trip and throw it everywhere  evil:

This is not uncommon  noooo:

Always been like this ....so is this something you are prone to or is it just laziness and stupidity ?

Hasn't Nick said in the past that you are distantly related? If so then it could be that the calamity gene bypassed you and hit the brat.  whistle:

I am not clumsy, however my brother is.

I could sit in the middle of Wembley Stadium and if asked to cross it, he would still trip over me.

All three of mine are like this with breakfast ~ which is why ALL breakfasts must be prepared and consumed at the breakfast bar in the kitchen ~ That way we have only one mess to clean up. Other meals are normally taken sitting at the table in the dining room because we (SWWLTBO and I) plate up their meals and put them on the table, in front of them, once they have sat at their places ~ anything else is a disaster waiting to happen.

What baffles us is that they just don't notice they've done it.
