It is very exciting to walk into a glass door. I did it today on the way to the dentist. I was walking towards the assistant who was sitting at her desk - she was about 20 feet away and I smiled and then 'WHAM' I was staggering backwards holding one hand to my head and hopping. It was just like a panel in a comic book in which the superhero hits someone and they see stars and their eyes get spirals in them. I was totally stunned.

A few seconds later I realized I had walked into a door.

Nicole (the receptionist) asked "are you alright?"

I said "No, I don't think so" and collapsed in a chair.

My knee was very sore and I had a bump on my forehead that will be a bruise tomorrow. I asked for ice and lay in the dentist's chair with a baggy of ice on it throughout the exam.

Everyone in the dentist's office knew I was the one who walked into the door.

Josh was the most comforting. He told me that he has also walked into a glass door - on the way to his first Kung-fu class. Immediately, I felt affirmed as one of the herd of people who walk into doors but are not idiots, or are, but are social about it.

LOL! That is too funny! And yes, you just happened to walk into a glass door, you're not an idiot. :)
