I am a serial tripper. If there is any hint of moisture, I slip and fall no matter what my footwear is and today, while I was barefoot!
The previous trip and resultant wrist sprain was caused by me tripping UP a step. I was distracted and missed it because I was watching a plane land.
Today I was on the web and the youngest called to me. As I was getting up, my toes (it is the custom here for everyone to leave shoes at the door and be barefoot inside) became caught in the headphone cord and I tripped.
About the shoeless custom, sometimes in the states I forget that it isn’t the custom there. More than one family has been surprised as I stop upon entering a home, brace against a wall and remove my shoes. Hahahaha!
Sure it wasn’t an acid trip??? See ya next fall!!! ;-))
I love the no-shoe custom. I adhere to it myself.
So, you’re just a bit of a clutz I guess. My best friend is the same. We laugh and laugh at her pratfalls.
