Today's fairy tale

Once upon a time a talented, vivacious, yet oh-so-klutzy 30something woman took a bit of a fall. Balancing on clicky heels isn't always an easy thing, after all. Stepping off a curb, her favorite kitten heel decided to slip, and down on the concrete she went, spraining her ankle in the process. 

Wounded, but not broken this good-natured woman was quick to make fun of herself and her not-so-graceful spill. Sharing the story with a close friend, she was hoping to net a bit of sympathy ... fully knowing she would make this handsome guy laugh hysterically. And laugh he did ... first via email, then in person when the two met up one morning before work. 

After poking fun at her lack of grace, he offered a sweet farewell and trudged off to jump into his truck. Within a blink of an eye, (unfortunately while our fare damsel's back was turned) Sir Teases-a-Lot was lying in the road, Starbucks coffee spilled on the asphalt, a divot in the grass the apparent culprit! 

Enter our heroine ... KARMA

I'm STILL laughing at how perfectly timed Karma can be! Luckily he wasn't too wounded ... His pride? Quite possibly.
