Falling!!
Date Added: February 2nd, 2009
When I was 13, my family and I traveled to Iowa for my cousin BethAnns graduation. We were there for about a week before hand and during this time we visited many of her friends. She had one friend, a guy who’s name I don’t recall, was so cute and nice to me that I developed a crush on him. Every time he came over, I was right there to receive his attention. Well, on the day of graduation, I was upstairs getting dressed, I heard a group of her friends arrive. BethAnn was riding with them to the school. I didn’t want to miss my chance to see my crush, so I decided to hightail it down stairs. Now I was wearing a dress and was new to wearing high heels. When I reached the top of the stairs, I slowed down and tried to walk down them as seductively as I could. Unfortunately, my heel caught on one of the top steps, I took off and tumbled down the steps, landing face down at the bottom, right at the feet of my crush…and he was laughing! Talk about humiliating!
That same summer, when where taking my cousin Joe’s wife to Ft. Lenardwood, MO. We stopped at the arch. There was a couple of different levels, two or three steps up or down from one level to the next. Again, being a clumsy teenager, and not watching were I was going, I slipped down one of the small sets of stairs, and right into the arms of a very cute young man. He asked if I was ok, but I couldn’t think of anything to say and bolted as soon as he let go.
Looking back, maybe that wasn’t so bad after all! submitted by Mary, Hartford, MI.
