The other day my boyfriend was teaching me how to throw a football so it does that spirally thing. I don’t know why I wanted it to do the thing, I just wanted it to do the thing.
I also wanted to get more power behind the throw, so he told me to use my torso to rotate my shoulders and blah blah blah long story short, I eventually threw it as perfectly as anyone could with all the spirals and sparkles and everything, but when I did, what do you think happened?
Was it:
A. I fell on my face
B. I ripped a colossal fart
C. I pulled a muscle
or
D. All of the above
Wouldn’t that suck and be super embarrassing if it was D? Well guess what, it was totally D. Of course it was D. Go big or go home, I always say.
From across the yard my boyfriend yelled, “Ohhhhh nooooooo!” in what I swear was slow motion as my dog ran over to assess the unfortunate situation. I guess I’m just sad no one got it on camera so we could win $10,000 on America’s Funniest Videos. Is that show still on? I still don’t have cable.
Sigh. Stay tuned as I continue to cultivate awkward seeds in my ever-expanding garden of gracelessness.
At least I got a cute picture out of it
Now THAT’S a dog!

OMG, this one had me laughing hysterically. Oh wait … are you okay? Sounds like your precious puppy came over to make sure. I’m guessing your bf did too. LOL I have to share this with my bff. Hope you’re feeling okay after your ‘all of the above’ incident.

Oh I’m fine now haha. Thanks lady. That little (big) guy does his best to care for me as much as a doggie can!

Glad to hear you have two great boys to care for you (your doggie is a boy, right?). BTW, America’s Funniest Videos IS still on, and it’s on a primetime network (ABC). I love that show, especially if someone throws a football, farts, falls on their face and pulls a muscle. You can win a lot more money on it these days. Too bad you didn’t get that video sistah.
