My mother is also a teacher.
Fresh from falling face-first down a mountain over the summer and going into the expected A-Level photoshoot looking like 3 rounds with Mike Tyson, she's slipped over and broken her wrist days before an OFSTED inspection. She's got a sense of timing alright.

True, I was in London when both of these things went down
It was really upsetting with the face thing though.

my mother once tripped over her own jeans
and couldn't put her hands out as she was carrying everyone's dinner. she hit the road face first. then stood up with takeaway curry all over herself. she looked like she'd done ten rounds with frank bruno, it was a real shame.
