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 happened to my brother. Except he fell in the wastebasket instead of on the floor. Cue several years of "I never should have fished you out of the trash!" and other similar comments from my mom whenever he pissed her off.
