Is there some kind of award for Stupidest Injury of the Month?

Because I'd like to apply for it. You see, yesterday evening I was brushing my teeth, as you do, walking around a bit while doing so. Earlier that day, I had left the house with a (hardcover) book in my backpack and it still stood in a corner with the book. Who do you think tripped over her own feet, spit out her toothbrush and managed to fall down in such a way that her shin hit one of the book's surprisingly pointy corners?

Fifteen minutes later, I was very confused to find that my leg both hurt (duh) and sported a rather impressive bruise. *pokes it* Who knew that could happen?

(I'm kidding, I'm kidding. But normally, I either bruise but don't even realise until later because it didn't hurt, or I end up injuring myself somehow and it hurts but I don't even have a bruise to show for it. It's very disappointing. One time I hit my arm just below the elbow on the corner of a table while gesturing and it hurt for four full days but I didn't even get the tiniest bruise. No fair!)

In hindsight, maybe I should've known better than to let books about Tricksters just lying around.
