Aren't we extraordinary machines? The wear and tear our bodies endure.
I know what you mean about laughing! I fell two days ago, and I threw myself even more forward so I wouldn't land on my nephew. I banged right under my knee and I knew instantly that I would have a bruise, which I do now.
My sister was sitting in my living room with her other child and she thought her son fell lol
Mashed potatoes must have been interesting! LOL So glad you didn't hurt anything though Gayle
