Why Someone Falling Down the Stairs Is So HILLarious

Hello, loyal pheasants!

In our previous posts. we spoke about how our father had fallen down the stairs and how that had been an inspiration to us. Well, what it inspired us to do was to write a post about why falling down the stars is sooo funny.

It's kind of like when someone gets their words mixed up in their sentences. (Example: Yesterday our Mom told Adrien to take the house and sweep the broom. She actually meant to say take the broom and sweep the house.) Or like how today Tifanie told Mom that Zoo-Zoo had a kitchen when she actually meant kitten. That wasn't a lie, it was what is called a slip on the tongue. Anyways, when someone makes a dumb, unintentional mistake and it's rude to laugh so it makes you want to laugh even more.

Well, falling down the stairs is very similar to that, except that instead of slipping in your mouth you slip on the stairs. It always makes a big noise, especially in an old house with stairs that aren't carpeted. Everyone hears you and showers you with, 'Are you okay?'s' and you try to play it off, but it hurts and so you just kind of make a fool of yourself. And it is hilarious. You go up and down so often you don't really think of it as being a hazard until the step if just one step shorter than you thought or someone puts a book. The worst thing is if there happens to be a Dino settlement at the bottom of the stairs and your land on them--which is what happened to our father.

Anyhow, we find it absolutely HILLarious when someone falls down the stairs, but we try very hard not to laugh as we do know quite a lot of etiquette--but sometimes it's stronger than us.

Yours sincerely and laughing a little,
