->  PK> I guess that it is!  My son fell in the shower twice in one day, even 
->  PK> with the shower mat!! 
->   
->  WB> Oh NO!  He needs to be more careful. 
->  
->  PK> He is a kid, he thinks that he is invincible! 
->  
-> Yes, they do when they are pre-teen and teenagers.    Try 
-> telling them that smoking will kill them, guns will kill them if 
-> they play with them, and they just laugh and say, "Not ME!"  If 
-> they even hear you...most of them tend to tune out adult advice 
-> for the most part. 
 
He gets after Doris for smoking and drinking and won't talk to me for a
week if I  
have a drink (ask Doris-it is true!!).  Guns don't interest him.  Bet he
will be a fast driver though.  :( 
->  
-> Kids don't understand "careful" very well.  That's why you have 
-> so many wild teenage drivers.   
->  
->  PK> You do? That means that you have to fall in the tub or the bathroom 
->  PK> every so often. 
->  
-> Pat, I am scared half to death to even take a shower, I've fallen 
-> so many times.  My feet are partly numb, most of the time, and it 
-> makes it even more dangerous. 
-> 
My left leg is numb from the thigh down to the knee on the outside.  I have 
lots of trouble due to that also. 
  
->  PK> My worst fall was when I went into the bathroom to brush my teeth one 
->  PK> night. Chris had just finished taking a shower and had gotten water 
all 
->  PK> over the floor and then didn't clean it up or say anything.  I took 
two 
->  PK> steps into the bathroom, hit the water and fell flat on my back.  
->  
-> Yeah, that hydroplaning will getcha every time!    And you know 
-> the old saying "The bigger they are, the harder they fall?"  Well, 
-> I'm here to tell you, it's true!  When you fall so hard you hurt too 
-> badly to sit up and craft, it's time for some handles in the shower! 
->  
I fall bad enough to shake the Richter scales 200 miles away!  :)
