How are you all doing? Hope your weekend is going well?
Hmmmm something happened to yours truly. Something crazy!
Physically, I am ok but my ego is hurt! Really, really bruised eh!
I cannot believe this happened to me. Chai!
You see, I have this morbid fear of falling....Yes, falling down. And as a result, I have always been super careful while walking, running, standing and anything that has a 0.01% possibility of leading to a fall.
But yesterday, I fell. Down. Flat. On. My. Face! No, that is not all. I fell before an admirer!
Why me ehn? Why?!
It seems I have a specialty in falling in places I have no business falling at. My first fall this year was in my Chairman's office. Yup, its like I run from falling but end up doing it in a 'grand' way whenever it happens. Thank God I did not get to the floor in the Chairman's office but ehn, it was just as embarrassing.
At the time i fell, the security guard came out and goes "sannu anty" "sannu" "sannu fa" like I did not hear the first sannu. Abi it has now turned to song? What even brought him out then sef? Could it have been the sound of my ego shattering into a billion pieces he heard?
And my visitor was too shocked I believe because he actually asked "did you fall?"
My answer? noooo! cant you see me flying? well, that was in my head.
At this point I was too embarrassed to even get up then he goes "get up now" Chai!!!! Dear God, why me?!
Anyway, I had to get up, clean my body and walk away without a word to him. I walked pass the security man with my head held up high while pieces of my ego followed behind.
So, how did I end up falling face down in front of an admirer? I will gist you someday because right now, I cannot begin to put myself through that experience again. Mba. But help me thank heavens I was not forming for him oh, na there e for pain me pass.
Please share any embarrassing moments with me. biko. I cannot be the only one who has been embarrassed on this level. Maybe your stories will make me laugh and forget my experience.
xxo
Sannu fa *Stifling giggles* I don't know which is more painful, the bruised body or bruised ego. On top of that, you know the guard and his crew are gonna have a good laugh about this right? You may have to make him go on a leave of absence till he forgets.

ReplyDeleteThanks... I am OK. Just embarrassed. Sorry about your fall also
DeleteHeya! Pele. I am mortified on your behalf.
ReplyDeleteCould it be that you were too self conscious? It happens to me sometimes precisely when I am watching my steps cos It would be embarrassing to fall at that particular time.
Next thing you know I have slipped, But I no dey reach ground sha. Hehe.
Bubba, pele. My Blog Crush changingpostcodes.wordpress.com would say its never that serious nah.. Falling is a normal thing in life, but getting up and walking with your head high.. Now that Bubba is the magical part of life ( I mean this both literally and realistically) Just smile oh Jari. Plus hey Fine geh Vira, anybody who cant be with you and accept your not so glorious times doesn't deserve to be in your life oh Jari.. In Ugo's voice please shake it off like a wet dog, you will be fine Bubba. Cheers.. E-hugs... E-touching Bory... E-tapping of current :)
ReplyDeleteLol.... I accept the e - everything minus the current tapping.
DeleteEwo...humpty dumpty moment indeed... my bestie also fell last week at the mall...infront of her admirer. She said immediately she fell, it felt like her whole world fell with her. She was too embarrassed to even look at him. The poor boy pulled her up and was dusting her cloth for her... I've had my fair share of humpty dumpty moments but I never get to the floor. My ego always holds me back....hahahaha. pele dear
ReplyDeleteHahahaaaaa! My ego left me on my own oh.... It was probably too embarrassed for me.
