The Funny Fall

Ok, so *flashback* ( I know, already)
It's Halloween and Hannah, Cassandra and I are at Alexis's house trick or treating doing the usual candy collecting, watching little kids sneak out from under old people's arms, hugging gorillas, throwing peanuts at people, and finding little baby shoes on the sidewalk. *double flashback*, we get back from trick or treating and I'm climbing up those steep stairs to Alexis's room, in my socks, thinking, you know what? What would happen if someone fell?
Hannah and Cassandra thought it was funny, what WOULD happen if someone fell, who would fall, when,  and you have to be really careful on those stairs. And I'm thinking, Great Grandma's stairs are super slippery and I've explored up there bunches of times, so I wouldn't fall, and plus, I'm SUPER careful on her stairs, because it's a long way down, and plus, it would just be embarassing.
*flashback to today* Spent the night at her house last night. I'm just leaving.
Alexis: You got everything?
Me: Yup. I'm ready.
Alexis: K.
Me: You coming to swimming tomorrow?
A: Yep, you?
M: Yup.
We start down the stairs.
M: Well ok-
And that's when I fell. Down 6 stairs, and then get this, there was so much crap in my bag that it hooked on the stairs and stopped me from plummeting the rest of the way down the stairs and into the wall. So for once, THANK YOU HOMEWORK!

Bump.
ALL THE WAY DOWN, before I stopped I was already laughing at myself. My mom (like all mother's do) reached out to help me up and was like "Oh Delaney!"
I will admit, it hurt my bottom, and skinned my elbow, but it didn't hurt too bad. And I look up and Alexis is frozen on the stairs with this look like I-want-to-look-shocked-but-it-was-kinda-funny-you-have-to-admit-that-much.
And she goes, are you ok???
It's like dude, I just fell down 6 stairs and popped right back up and I've been telling my mom for the last 15 seconds that I'm fine, I don't need you to start bombarding me like that. But instead I said,
Yeah, I'm fine.
Mom: Are you sure? You fell down like 6 stairs?
Alexis: Yeah, that looked like it hurt! Are you ok?
Mom: Yeah, it did look like it hurt!
Her sister chimes in a little bit late, but her sympathy was appreciated
Ciera: Are you ok?
And then her little sister Kenna was just laughing on a chair, going: Hi Delaney, bye Delaney.
I just wanted to yell
I'M FINE, OK?? And then laugh.
But instead I just went: "Ha ha, yeah, I'm ok, I'm sure I'm ok.

But all I could think about was how everyone was afraid they were gonna fall, and then I did, and I was even wearing shoes! Just I was trying to get down thes stairs because we were leaving and Alexis was behind me, and I was ready to go, and I was talking and looking at my mom, and my foot just missed the stair, and it was like I was trying to walk on air. Which doesn't work.
So I'm glad I'm not old, or else probably half my butt bones would be broken and my elbow would probably be gushing blood still.
I'm resilient!!! Ahahahahahahaha.
Stupid stairs,
Delaney
