GENETICS ~Yerglers

Monday: Well, today i had the excitement of logging online and registering for spring classes. i got all the classes i wanted or lets say needed to be in. so i am set for awile, that is till february when i owe my soul to UW to pay what my loans didnt.
Well, if you have read karens most recent blog, i am not suprised at all of the incidents that occurred to her this past working week at walmart. Here is the reason why. GENETICS. I know your thinking who in our family could we inherit such unlucky behaviors and ditzyness. Let me explain. I feel like the biggest victim here of genetics, being the youngest in all, the influences i faced were the people im expected to look up to. Lets start with Amber, how many times did she twist her ankles doing odd things at school, or the most rememmorable, finding the coffee table w/ her knee, we all know the luck after that. Brian shooting himself in the hand, now that isnt very smart. Next we have karen, the comments as "where are you getting that information from, the internet?" (this is when she looks straight at me sitting at the computer w/ nothing else to get information from.) Also you read her blog you know her unluckyness. We then have me, the dencher story, and plenty of ditzy comments inwhich im not going to include. however ive forgotten two key people in our genetics of unluckyness. Mom and dad. Dad enjoys using his unluckyness genetics by crawling under motorhomes set in neutral and trying to start it, we know what happens next, or the time he was cutting a hose and well his thumb too at camp grace away from civilization. Then we have mom, oooh i love you mama. The tipping of her motorcycle while trying to turn around, the time she was running outside to get in the car and somehow decides to sit down hard on the corner of the porch. Yes, its just our family. Love you all! Bye

And let's not forget the kitty with the broken leg or the bird with the broken wing. Or, when we wanted to play "Cops and Robbers" how we had to let a "dog with a broken leg" play...

I think it mainly comes from kens' side of the family, dont you? dad walking out the front door and slipping on ice and flying into space with his lunch bucket, dad looking at the new camp grace chapel while driving and crashing right through the gate, dad merging onto the highway and looking back and forgetting to look forward and crashing into the "your lucky fella lady", dad driving on a bridge and looking at the boats in the water instead of watching the road and amost crashing into the stalled truck in front of us, dad backing into the trees at the lodge in indiana, dad not paying attention and allowing cindy to drift out to sea as a little girl in a boat (festo lake), dad drove over himself not just once with the motorhome but that was HIS SECOND TIME doing that (first time with a car), dad (not thinking) seating his little baby girl on the edge of a 4 foot deck with no rail thus allowing her to fall over backwards onto the ground, dad smashing his pointer finger at work in indiana, dad has lost more eye glasses over the years than there are grains of sand, dad drifing off the road as he fell asleep, yeah i think its clearly his gene pool here.....hehehehehehehehe

as a rebuttal if you can think of all the not thinking things or clumsy things i have done over the years i would like to hear them. :)I can think of a few... i got bit by a squirrel, i sideswiped a car pulling out of parking lot, the one cindy mentioned falling down the steps and my butt cheek black and blue, have no sense of direction when driving and thus alot of people honking at me as i hold up traffic trying to decide which way to turn or because i am in the wrong lane, getting lost in denver trying to get home and ending up in golden, colorado, diana and i drove to colorado from indiana but we ended up by mistake in wyoming, and yes trying to turn around on my motorcycle and dropping it to the ground, trying to ride my motorcycle out of the driveway forgetting that it is still chained to the fence!talk about an abrupt stop!, i am sure there are more......
