Some days having a big butt is a benefit!

Now I'm not saying mine is huge, but I'm no Twiggy so I have some extra padding!
This morning my butt saved me - we were going shopping - leaving at 8:15. I always go out first and push the button for the garage door opener. As I stepped out I thought Ruby was behind me and I turned my upper torso to see and when I turned back to continue walking down the two steps my left foot hit nothing but air and down I went.
It was in slow motion and with my butt on the steps and my back against the wall I fell the best way possible. I was just getting in the standing position when my husband appeared. I told him that its a good thing I have a big butt!
My right arm was a little sore, but within a hour it was fine and I managed to walk the grocery store without incident!
Photo is mine - bad steps, bad bad steps!
Thanks to @LadyDuck you don't have to stand on your head to see the photo properly!
I give up - not sure why after all this time the photo is not showing correctly and I deleted it from my computer - Use your imagination LOL!

Well I guess a little padding is a "big" help lol Glad there was no serious damage.

@AbbyGreenhill No, don't put any more padding, just have to be careful not to fall.

@LadyDuck Thanks. Being older I try to watch where I walk, what's in my path, etc.

My hand is a little sore when I touch it, but otherwise so far so good. I did manage to get in the pool and that might have helped.

I have not had this problem since I got my new camera and then it was not my fault it was happening to others.

You just have to imagine the steps going the right direction.

Well at least you landed on your rear end and didn't fall in a worse way where you could have really injured yourself.

Yes - If I had fallen forward there would have been blood and skin on the cement floor I'm sure!

I tell the little kids I work with: "Tushes were made for falling on!" Actually I say that to the bigger kids I work with as well when we're hiking downhill over slippery stuff. Landing on your butt doesn't count as a "fall."
