Our imagination can get the best of us sometimes...
Take me for instance last year one night, I was showering and thought a spider had joined me for a quick rinse.
"I jumped in the shower and decided to wash my hair.
So my hair is wet, shampooing done and I just need to rinse. I tip my head back and feel something about the top of my bum. Being the mature and logical gal I am, I came to the one and only possible conclusion. Spider"
I let out a scream a howler monkey would be proud of, boobs flying and I'm looking like some sort of demented mermaid, I attempted to flee the shower. And promptly acquired a new skill; the ability to do the splits.
This in itself was a spectacular feat of physics as there isn't actually enough room in my bathtub for a toddler to barely do the splits, never-mind a 5'3.5" half drowned rat. As a result, when my leading foot came into contact with the tub side. my body was launched back along the floor towards the toilet. This left me wedged between the toilet and the vanity.
When I tried to get up I was abruptly slapped by the vanity door.
One little tumble and I had a sprained ankle, I think two broken toes also, a beautiful rainbow of bruises in some interesting places and a partridge in a pear tree.
Upon learning that I can preform gymnastics worthy of Rio, made the laws of physics my slave and took a guided tour of the local Urgent Care.
I officially announced no future career in "Gymnastics!" 🤣
