How Dumb can one get? Just a little personal experience

[Canadian Jayne]

Today I took the grandkids for a nice Sunday
stroller walk

We ended up at a local park and were
about to go down the big slide
Since my grandson is not quite 2 I usually
slide down with him but
the slide was wet, someone had poured
some of a water bottle down it

A child suggested I not go down but
I had my super duper waterproof pants on
and figured "Awe, we'll be OK"
My grandson was hesitant to go down,
that should have been a signal for me

We didn't slide down, we zooooooomed down,
my feet hit flat, I landed face first in wood chips
with big butt in the air.
Thankfully, my grandson landed OK
a little shaken from the fast and furious trip
I look up , my grandson was looking at me
then I realize "hey, im actually hurt"

Blood is trickling down my face
as I realize "I've got a headache"

Someone asks if I'm OK
Of course, I say yes and get up
My daughters were jogging to where
I was, so I text and advise of my "accident"
They jog, past me, I'm hoping they'll have
a little sympathy (maybe take the kids)
they jog past, I guess they figured if I was standing
"Mom's OK"

The Moral of this story:
"Sometimes ya have to listen to Grandkids, they just may have a sixth sense about things"
"Super Duper Waterproof pants are Super Duper slippery!"
"If you want sympathy from your kids, it just might not happen"
"Even Grandma's can do Dumb stuff sometimes"

Canadian Jayne: That story is awesome!
And I love that there's a moral to it.
It's actually true!

[Canadian Jayne]

Yes, it is true
I woke up wondering

"What was I thinking?"
"I don't remember my mom going down any slides at my age"
"Maybe it's time to hang up the 'ol slide thingy before it's
too late"

Reminds me of the song "Grandma got runover by a reindeer"
They'd be singing
"Grandmas slid too fast down the sli-de
When I saw her bloody face,I cried
So, if you take you're grandkids to the park
Make sure the ground isn't concrete ,but bark

[Canadian Jayne]

I can't be the only one who's had a dumb
moment or to!
Why not share your experience, it's even more funny when its true!
Ohhhh, how I wish there was a camera around at the time.
I could write a book "Things Grandma's n' Granpa's shouldn't do"
I also woke up this morning thinking:
"I wish there wasn't such a thing as "OLD"
