i am a ultra klutz

9. With prices so high on food, I was proud of myself for finding

a good sale on a jumbo sized box of Cheerios. It was too much to fit into another container, so I put the whole box into my cupboard. It was too tall to stand upright, so I put it on its side.

I am short, so when I reached up to pull the box down after it had been opened once, it tilted so that the flap popped open. Cheerios rained down on me and rolled across the floor, while the cat chased after them.

By the time I righted the box, almost half of it had spilled out. Cheerios all over the counter, cupboard shelf, and on and between other items on the shelf. I swept the floor first. Then cleaned up the counter and shelf. Should have saved the floor for last because I had to sweep it again after cleaning off the shelf and counter.

Later, when I opened the fridge door, I saw Cheerios on the floor that had been hiding under the door. So I pulled out the fridge from the wall and found several more that had rolled under the fridge, which is on the opposite side of the kitchen from the cupboard.

So much for my money saving jumbo box of cereal, since I lost over 1/3 of the box to the trash bin.

But at least the cat enjoyed my clumsiness.
