Unnoticed...foot to

face on the cold grey pavement.

Embarrassing kiss.

    I have yet to fall on my face on ice. I have however, fallen on my butt a couple of times. XD

    Relatable.. how many times I’ve scrambled like a cartoon character or straight up ate it on ice I didn’t notice. Especially at work. Also, that skit is a throwback lol.
