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

I think a paper bag would work better and or have some holes cut out for eyes Hope you didn't hurt yourself too badly

Am I the only one wondering why you had a refrigerator box lying around

My parents had recently purchased and installed one, and we kept the box around because my cats like to play in it

#45, yes, yes you are. Of course, the original "I just bought a refrigerator and that's why I have a box lying around" reason would be number one. But then, the "I just bought a refrigerator and I have a young child around me" would be the number two reason.

Don't feel bad, I fell down tiled stairs without a box over my face! :)

Well, at least you got her to stop crying. But maybe next time, just do a silly walk to try to make a kid forget her boo-boo. No sense hurting yourself when you're babysitting. Glad you aren't hurt too seriously, though.

For falling down while trying to entertain? There goes comedy.
