A rather large lady slipped and fell, landing on her rear end. I instinctively moved to assist, but before I could ask one of those 'stock' questions, she wailed, "God, I feel so stupid." I should have kept quiet at that point, but instead, I replied, "Oh, I'm sure you're not really stupid." Afterwards, I was looking for a hole in the ground, but she had only caused a shallow indentation.Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13494219959077922220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-74882821337502001.post-88244266252203611522012-09-06T00:36:34.876-07:002012-09-06T00:36:34.876-07:00I think it's an inbuilt mother thing to get th...I think it's an inbuilt mother thing to get their children to learn that they are not wounded for life every time they fall over: "Up you get!
