Third try:
Clumsy? Me? HA!
I aspire to be clumsy. If I were a superhero, my name would be “Captain Klutz”. I would have a field of destruction around me that incapacitates my enemies.
In real life, I make inspector Clouseau look as agile as a cat burglar. I have multiple scars and half healed cuts and bruises all over. I have broken bones, twisted knees, sprained ankles, and even stabbed myself once. All by accident.
One of my favorite parts of the Red Green show is that black and white skit they do, and Rick and a few others try to get something done. Everything goes wrong, of course, because a detail is ignored and things go from bad to worse. If you ever need some ideas for that skit, give me a call. My life is full of those events.
With ADD we focus on the wrong things, or we don’t focus at all. We miss the details that would save us from these accidents. I have corelle dishes, and plastic cups, because I was breaking “grown-up” dishware too fast. There isn’t a day, that passes that I don’t knock over something or drop something.
Yet another reason I think ADD is a curse.
