Random morning anecdote

[apocalypsos]

Every time I'm acting strange around my family -- which is most of the time, really -- my mother will point out that she dropped me on my head as a baby.

It's kind of a default headdrop story, but the story goes like this. I was just at that stage when all I could really do was roll over, so it was still sort of a novelty. She put me on the changing table, turned around to get something, and turned back to find me lying on the floor, staring up at her with a snarky smile on my face, as if to say, "Smooth move, dumbass!"

Personally, I think the story would be much more interesting (and would actually count) if she'd painted a target on the floor, picked me up by the ankles, and aimed better.

That sounds a lot like my mom's "dropped her on her head" story. Except, in my case, I was laying on a couch. On the plus side, I appearently fell off repeatedly, which makes me wonder about "dropped on her head" stories told by my maternal grandmother.

I wouldn't be suprised if everyone got a 'dropped' story. I was changing my nephew's diapers, turn away for a second and bammo, he's on the floor. He was ok
