      Aww. I know the feeling.

      It might be what’s called “Memory Bias”, where we selectively remember certain things for a particular reason. This is why people think that ‘that bus is ALWAYS late’ and so on – some things are very memorable, so you forget the times when they didn’t happen!

      Maybe you’re actually not clumsy at all, but you always remember when you drop stuff? I don’t know!

      Wow, what a great answer from Mike, I never thought of that but he must be right.

      Your nickname is wizzo so I bet you are a wiz at something and not clumsy at all!
