Today, I was outside talking to my new neighbor. I was gesturing while talking and didn't notice the little kid riding her bike coming our way. I ended up accidentally smacking her in the face and knocking her off her bike. Apparently she's my new neighbor's daughter. Welcome to the neighborhood. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my new neighbors moved in across the street. Also today, they began to park at the end of my driveway. Not used to a car being there, I backed out and promptly hit it. Welcome to the neighborhood. FML
Today, I was teaching my daughter how to ride a bike with no training wheels. After comforting her and assuring her that she'd be fine, I gave her a big push. She fell forward over the handlebars and scraped her chin on the front wheel. FML
Today, I was walking around the park with my wife. Out of nowhere, a little girl on a bicycle slammed in to me, knocking me to the ground. As I rolled over, sure that my ankle was broken, her father ran over to me. He screamed, "Watch where you're going, douchebag!" FML
Today, I was babysitting my neighbor's kid. We were playing in the yard, when he fell and got a small scratch on his leg. I gasp, and he takes a huge breath in and yells, "FUUUCK!!!" as loud as possible. The parents thought it was me, and the mother slapped me in the face. FML
Today, a very attractive girl moved in across the road from me. As I was leaving, I noticed she was looking out her window at me. I tried playing it cool, only to end up tripping over my own feet, hands in pocket, and faceplanting the hood of my dad's car. FML
Today, I was at my 3 year-old niece's birthday party. I was swinging on their swing set when she walked directly into my path. I tried to jump off the swing, but I could not stop myself in time. I ended up kicking her in the face and giving her a black eye. Happy birthday! FML
Today, I rode my new bike for the first time. I made it less than 100 feet from my driveway before I was almost flattened by someone driving on the wrong side of the road. Upside: I managed to get out of the way. Downside: I did it by slamming my brand new, expensive bike into a wall. FML
Today, I learned that my neighbor of 9 years has a kid. I learned this after I knocked down his snowman. FML
Today, I tried to show my little cousin how to ride a bike without training wheels. Not only did I crash into a bush, but the handlebars hit me in the nuts, and I ended up rolling around like a Labrador in shit in front of the neighbors. FML
Today, it was really windy and rainy causing me to trip and knock into a little kid. While still gathering myself, I apologized and patted the kid on its head. Then I see people around me starting to laugh. I turn and look at the kid, and discover I've been interacting with a trash can. FML

Accidents happen. As long as you apologised straight away, there's not really much else you can do about it. Just be more careful next time.

Sounds like a failure in situational awareness.

Agreed

Shit like that happens. I hope she wasn't hurt too badly. Either way I would bring them a cake or something as a nice gesture to say welcome to da hood.

That's not what they mean by making a good first impression.

At least your neighbor was able to witness that it was an accident. Apologize and you'll be good.

Any parent who says they've never done something similar is lying, I've accidentally hit my daughter with a fridge door.

Why me no good at maths? Because I hit you with a fridge door as a child...

My dad was playing horseshoes one day at our house after getting done with some yard work. I was a little kid so of course I didn't think things all the way through. When I went to take him some water, I walked right behind him without him knowing and got hit in the head with a horse shoe.

I'm a teacher and I tend to talk with my hands. One day I got really excited about a novel we were reading and I accidentally clocked a kid in the face with my copy of the book. It was a paperback, though, so it could've been a lot worse. That was an awkward phone call home.

It wasn't intentional OP. I'm sure an apology would suffice.

If the kid's parent was standing there when it happened, they know it was an accident. Don't beat yourself up, crap like that happens. Once when I was a gymnastics coach, I was talking to one student and went to point to something behind me, and totally slapped another kid in the face because I didn't know she was walking by.
