Today, I was babysitting my 4-year-old cousin. She scraped her knee, and in an attempt to cheer her up, I put a refrigerator box over my head and waddled around like a penguin. She stopped crying, but only after I fell down a flight of tile stairs. FML

Hello! I'm the OP. Just to confirm, I didn't get any major injuries (just a bruised butt!) Also, -didn't put box on the cousin because she's too short, so she wouldn't be able to walk in it -didn't realize the stairs because when the box was on, I couldn't see, so I seemed to have lost my sense of perception Anyway, thanks for all the "hope your not hurt"-ish comments! ♡

Jeez, OP, that must have been terrifying... Just suddenly falling down the stairs covered by a box. I would have had a heart attack XD

That hurts like hell! But hey she stops crying at other people's pain. Next time just knock yourself out.

It sucks that you hurt yourself, but it's good that you got the kid to stop crying.

If only there had been something for him to convientently slam his balls on on the way down. He was so close to a darwin award.

At least she stopped crying and you learned a new lesson: Don't put a box on your head when there's a stair nearby.

Shouldn't teach her things like that... penguins cannot take flight.
