I read the news item and watched the YouTube video. You gotta admire her courage though. I would’ve…. well, I wouldn’t make it in there in the first place so I don’t need to contemplate that. ;) Typically though, whenever that happens to me, I just burst out laughing with my friends who’d probably be shell-shocked while I’m still on the floor, trying to stop the laughter.

That’s why I always find ice-skating a very hearty, funny experience.

Auntie: Miss Universe downstairs on TV.
Me: Yeah. Miss USA fell down.
Auntie: Hah? Really ah? She slipped and PER-DONG (that’s the sound effect my aunt came up with)?
Me: Yup.

(Two minutes later)

Mom (who is downstairs): Oh NO! Oh NOooOoooo!

(And another minute)

Mom: Miss US fell down!
Auntie: Yah, Alynna told me.
Mom: Hah? How did she know?
Auntie: I dunno.

(Five minutes later, Mom comes upstairs)

Mom: Miss Universe was when?
Me: I dunno.
Mom: So who won?
Me: Miss Venezuela. She got nice body.
Mom: Oh YAH.
