Any woman knows trying on clothes can be hazardous to your health. Any woman over a size 6, that is. The dressing rooms. The fluorescent lights. The full length mirrors. The horror.
But my mother (she's my "mother" when she's done something that borders on ridiculous and totally hilarious) is proof positive. She BROKE her toe trying on clothes.
I get a text..."I think I broke my toe."
Convinced she is being hyperbolic, I go back to napping. 2 hours later, I find out...no, she really did break her toe. Her second toe on her left foot. But wait, it gets better. She broke it when she was a) trying on leggings to match a fabulous new dress she'd bought, b) hopping around on one foot trying to get leggings off, and c) caught said toe in the hole of a laundry basket. That's right. She broke it at home. Wrestling a laundry basket lurking in the closet. While trying on new clothes. They say most accidents happen within 5 miles from the home. Well...
And it gets even better. The next morning, when she finally decided it was broken and she had to go to a doctor, my dad (who doesn't drive anymore) said "Will you run across the street and get me a cup of coffee before you drive yourself to Urgent Care?" So much for men taking care of women when they are sick (or broken).
And still better, she is now wearing a big black boot. Which she has happily decided goes perfectly with her new outfit.
