My mother says that I am clumsy. My father says that I am clumsy. I know that I am clumsy. I do things all the time that are clumsy. I fall down for no reason at all. If there is a crack in the sidewalk, I will be sure to trip on it and fall down. If I carry a plate of food in the cafeteria, I almost always either drop it or bump into someone with it. I don’t try to do these things, it just happens. When I drink juice, I miss my mouth and get juice all over my shirt. I always have something spilled on my clothes. Last week I opened a jar of peanut butter. The jar flew out of my hands and landed upside down on the floor. There was a big glob of peanut butter on the floor. Yesterday I knocked over the sugar bowl. There was a big sticky mess on the floor. I bump my head when I get into the car. I rip my pants on things. I lose my money out of my pockets. I step on the cat’s tail. I always feel bad when I do that because the cat thinks I don’t love her. I don’t mean to do these things. I am just a clumsy person. My parents tell me to slow down. I am always in a hurry; maybe that’s why I’m so clumsy. Maybe it’s just a stage that I am going through. If it is, I hope it is over soon. Being clumsy is no fun at all.
