I am Clumsy

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.
