not-so-coordinated


some of us are not the most coordinated in our daily lives, but it never ceases to make us laugh when we hear about people dramatically tripping over their own feet, or running awkwardly into a stop sign mid-sentence. for some people, these accidents can almost be planned...like my mom, who had a habit of spilling her coffee on her lap at least four times a week during her morning commute. in recent news, in an attempt to rescue her beverage from the roof of her car, a woman ran over herself earlier this morning. accordingly, the woman stepped on her brakes and stepped out of the car, unbeknownst to her that the vehical was headed in reverse; this left her severly injured. lesson leared: conciousness keeps people more awake than coffee.
