foot reflexes: saving mugs, breaking toes
Does anybody else have this weird habit when you suddenly drop something but at the very last millisecond — before this something hits the floor — you try to catch it with your foot?
Many times it saved the thing from breaking, be it a mug or a phone, but nearly always it hurt me. Like today's kitchen knife, for example.
Pretty sure it comes from my parents, who clearly expected a child that doesn't make loud noises but got me instead. Not even talking about breaking things.
Oh, dear childhood trauma... You and I — we are in it together.
