Is it Hereditary

Last week my mother sent me an email saying that she had tripped going into the house and basically had fallen on her face and ribs. As a result of this "graceful" episode she almost poked her eye out and she did cracked a rib. I think it must run in the family..... Yesterday I was painting the columns on the front porch of our kids (son and daughter in-law) house and SOMEHOW got my toe hung up going down the step. I had a gallon of paint in one hand and the paint brush in the other. Needless to say, the ole hands were not available to help at all, so down I went on both of my elbows (which hurt like you know what) and my butt (which I didn't feel at all :). Good thing was, I definitely didn't break anything. It is also good that we have to do some repair work to the front porch, then paint, because the white paint now spilled on the front steps doesn't add anything positive to the curb appeal. Hope today's home improvement projects are a little less eventful.
