that the stupider the injury, the more noticeable it is?
Tonight I have a big knot on my forehead which is brilliantly visible even to the pretty much clueless. Did I get it while roller blading or even winterizing the garden? Nope. I was putting up Christmas decorations. I can't even explain it exactly, but somehow I walked smack into a door--a door which has been in the same place the entire time we've lived in this house. And of course being December, the holiday party invitations are already stacking up, so over the next couple weeks I'll be explaining this beauty to almost everyone I know.
I wish I were a good liar. Then I could say I was slalom skiing or doing a tricky ice skating double-axel. Instead, I get to explain how I got my arse kicked by a door.
Let the holiday fun begin!

Tell 'em you were in a bar fight - and then say in a vaguely threatening tone, 'and guess who won?'...
Oh no!! Does it hurt - or is just your pride hurt? Reminds me of the time I stepped on the pen. :)
