I was arrogant last week. I was arrogant enough to believe I possessed the proper motor skills to open a door.
So confident was I in this capacity, that I placed all of my weight on my toes and leaned in to the garage door I was trying to open.
And so when my hand slipped and I fell forward, my head made this soft unpredictable and unassuming noise as it collided with the door that remained closed: Tap. Tap.
Twice, because my forehead ricocheted ever so slightly backwards before it moved forward a second time.

It’s odd, because you LOOK very graceful.
I hope you’re all right, sweetie.

LOL. Aaaah if only you could see me move in real time…bumping into things, tripping over others, dropping what’s left of the rest
Am ok, darlin’. Thanks for asking!

Were you testing your head like a melon, tapping it twice?
*tap tap* “yup, brain is still in there and ready for more education.”

Ugh, Mo, I wish I had something intelligent to report as to the ‘why’ of my actions…but alas, no such thing!
Maybe I’ll just use that anyway?
