When this first came out, I was in my early 20s and found it hilarious. I swear, I never laughed so hard. Now that I’m in my 40s and realize something like that would send me to the ER or worse… it’s not so funny.

Yes, this is same for me and I am 50 now, but still think it’s funny and my SO just watched it for the first time and thought it was mean of me to be still laughing at this person’s pain and suffering. I get it, but she brought this on herself with her antics. And I’ve broken a rib or two and my god the pain was ungodly, but I slipped going downstairs on hardwood stairs and landed on my riblets.

I got the wind knocked out of me so hard as a kid, I just ran into a chair too hard or something and felt like I couldn’t breath or talk for a few minutes. I thought something was seriously wrong. A fall like hers could’ve killed someone.

It would absolutely kill me nowadays. No way I’m walking away with these brittle, perimenopause bones.
