How to be the Clumsy Friend

The art of being clumsy is relatively simple. The first step in being clumsy is that you must trip over everything. That can include chairs, shoelaces, stairs, people, or sometimes nothing. Sometimes you trip for no apparent reason. It happens.
Then, you have to run into things. Somehow, you have to be the only one who didn’t see that giant pole in the middle of the hallway. You’re going to have to get over the shame and embarrassment of running smack into a complete stranger. Also, falling off and out of things will become normal if you are to be clumsy. Falling down a flight of stairs is always fun, but there are so many possibilities. You can fall off bleachers (although that one surprisingly hurts a lot more than you would think), off of roofs (good luck explaining why you were up there), and always out of your chair.
There is the public humiliation aspect, too, like face planting in front of an entire classroom or tripping over your own feet during a soccer game when no one was even touching you. Your friends will laugh at you and you will have bruises, but at least you’ll have many interesting stories.
