A Lesson in Skill

Come on in. Okay sit down kids.
Today you'll be learning how to be skillful. See the following.

Exhibit A.
Subject 1 has a bad day and comes home to take her dog on a nice run thinking that it might be a nice way to make up for the giant bowl of ice cream she just had. Its raining outside so she thinks, well she'll just go around the school, and then down the big hill by way of oversized steps for young children. So she runs around the block, up through the school yard and the four square courts. Then, approaching the stairs, is overcome with the inner 4th grader who ran down those stairs everyday. This mentality does not come without the incapability to think "Hey, its raining, its slippery, don't run down the stairs" because that thought process didn't kick in until somewhere around the 8th grade. So Subject 1 picks up the pace, first at a nice jog and then suddenly into a full out sprint down the stairs. She thinks "Wow! I didn't think I actually had this hand-foot coordination in me!" Well, Subject 1, you do not encompass that, or any type of coordination. Attempt to slow down by the time she gets to the curb fail completely, resulting in a full-blown plant directly on the 2nd, newly painted, white rectangle on the crosswalk.

Exhibit B.
Subject 1 looses control of dog leash, sending small terrier off all by her lonesome. Feeling sorry for herself, Subject 1 proceeds to sit in the middle of the dark street as small terrier returns to the scene in sympathy for her walker. As it goes, Subject 1 looks up the street to see headlights coming her way, and stands up, realizing that the skin of her right knee now belongs to Square 2 of the crosswalk. Picking up the leash, she hobbled home in the rain.
