Yesterday, armed with a gift certificate I attacked Sears. Found some great prices. I was really excited about some socks that looked like they would keep my feet warm at night...half price.
A while ago I was standing on my tile kitchen floor, wearing my new socks, talking to my 17 year old son and waiting for something to come out of the microwave. One minute I was standing there, the next thing I knew I was on my butt on the floor. Happened so fast I had no chance to put my hands out. Now this flabby, couch potato 43 year old body was not prepared. Believe it or not, my low back is spasming and my butt bone hurts.
And my son? Looks at me on the floor and with a straight face says "Have you been drinking?".
Morale of this story? If your half price socks do not have skid pads, don't wear them on a tile floor. OR...go ahead and drink...at least that way you have an excuse!!
