Today, I was babysitting my 4-year-old cousin. She scraped her knee, and in an attempt to cheer her up, I put a refrigerator box over my head and waddled around like a penguin. She stopped crying, but only after I fell down a flight of tile stairs. FML

Hello! I'm the OP. Just to confirm, I didn't get any major injuries (just a bruised butt!) Also, -didn't put box on the cousin because she's too short, so she wouldn't be able to walk in it -didn't realize the stairs because when the box was on, I couldn't see, so I seemed to have lost my sense of perception Anyway, thanks for all the "hope your not hurt"-ish comments! ♡

Jeez, OP, that must have been terrifying... Just suddenly falling down the stairs covered by a box. I would have had a heart attack XD

Who the hell has tiled stairs in their house, don't know about anyone else but I'd rather not break my damn neck.

If you dont want to break your neck then just be carefull. whether the stairs are tile, carpet, or concrete is irrelevant.

I'm glad you didn't get any major injuries but I'm sure that hurt anyway. I'd probably do something similar trying to cheer up one of my little cousins too lol they always laugh when we hurt ourselves (only minor injuries) how's your cousin?

Bruised butts are the worst. I slipped down the stairs a few weeks ago (I'm just clumsy) and I couldn't sit for ages Anyways OP glad you didn't get hurt any more than that!

I fell down some icy stairs last winter. My butt hurt for a month. To make it worse, I drove forklift at the time so all day I was sitting on it. Talk about painful all day.
