intentionally clumsy. not at all.
I didn't bump into walls fortunately, I would just bump into kids often and they would bump into me, I would accidentally kick other kids in the monkey bars and accidentally run into other kids and they would get mad at me. I would be trying to play on the bars and I would be trying to get on them and someone thought I was doing it to show off. I learned to walk looking on the ground because I would bump into little kids. My mom said I used to bump into anything in front of me because I would forget it was there. But occupational therapy fixed it so it doesn't happen often anymore and everyone does a clumsy moment sometimes so I don't pathologize mine. I used to drop things often until my early adulthood. Boy how many times my Nintendo DS, CD player, Game Boys have survived their falls and I only ended up with a broken battery cover for my GBA. My Nook has survived its fall too and my 3DS XL. I have also ended up with broken CD cases and wrecked one of my CDs because it got so badly scratched from too many falls I had to replace it. The songs would skip or speed up.
But kids are ignorant. Just because they don't do these often, they thought I was doing all this to be cool and to show off and to be mean when I would accidentally kick them or bump into them or have them bump into me. I hated crowds for a while because of this and always feel guilty for an accident because I thought someone was going to get mad at me. Now I think it's their problem if they want to get mad at me for an accident.
