True Story Tuesday- Christmas Story

I do not know if I can top the car trip to North Texas from last week. This one is from my Sr. year of highschool. I was going on a date with the drum major from our school and I think this was one of our 1st dates. He bought tickets for us to see the Nutcracker in Austin. We were both in Theater together and I was excited to see the live show. I got dressed up in my prettiest black velvet dress. (You know very 90's style with a black velvet top and a full lace skirt at the bottom.) My mom came to tell me that Kevin was waiting for me and I went to make my grand entrance coming down the stairs to my waiting date. As I pranced down the stairs I slipped in my very slick heals, landing on my rear bouncing down the last three stairs, and landing in a graceful heap at the bottom. I tore down the Christmas garland as I fell trying to catch myself on the banister. Lucky the skirt was long and full and I was fully covered as I fell. I did not bruise anything but my ego and not a rip or runner was in my hose. Kevin was the perfect gentleman and ran to help me up. He never even let out a smile or a snicker. Which is more that I can say for my parents. They thought is was quite funny. The evening was still a beautiful event. I wish I could say that was the last time I fell down those stairs.
