Ce'st La Vie

Today I helped at the Silver Creek field day. I cheered for Sophie while she ran with the torch, I gave ribbons to kids fifty-yard dashing, and I measured the distance that small children could jump. Thinking that I could beat my partner Natalie to a random chair found at the long jump station we were working, I attempted to sit down on it, not knowing that she had moved the chair away and.... fell to the ground. And then, thinking again that I could look cool and jump really far, I did so except, the grass was wet. I did jump far but, my foot slipped. I thought I did a backflip because I saw the sky and then the ground but I guess my head was just rolling around. Again, the ground and I met. I escaped from serious injury, except for those made to my pride. I should've known it would happen but, hey, that's life.

  1. lots of the little kids also hit the ground at the long jump--the grass was wet and slippery.
    Did you get sunburned?
