Have you ever heard the saying “Pride before fall.” or the saying “Eat crow.” Well those two sayings are based around what happens when you brag. If you watch you will see that when someone usually brags they usually fall or completely embarrass themselves and that is what my stories are about.
I went to Tennessee this spring to ski. We were about halfway through the day when we met this snowboarder while we were waiting in line for the ski lift. We got in to a conversation and ended up asking him if snowboarding was hard. Well he said that rarely ever falls. We told him that we had seen a lot of snowboarders falling face first and he goes “I’m pretty good I haven’t face planted in a while.” Well when we got off the ski lift we saw him ground face planted in the snow.
One time this kid that lives down the street was shooting baskets we saw this huge ramp and he was bragging about he could jump it 100 times without falling. So he tried it once and his bike went one way and he went the other.
These same things will also happen with my family members they will tell me to come watch them jay a three or stand on there tippy toes or balance on one foot and they will always fall or miss. No matter how big, buff, smart, smart, tall, small, you are bragging will bring your face to the ground.
