Poor, poor little Nika. Much like her mom, she looks like she might be graceful. She's tall and thin, could make a great ballerina.... but, alas. In addition to getting those physical attributes, she also inherited, without a doubt, her mother's clumniness.
She recently had a very traumatic fall out of about a half a story that ended in her splayed face first on the ground. While she looked like she may have broken multiple bones, she managed to only pull her groin muscle which left her limping around for weeks.
I, on the other hand, was not quite that lucky. While trying to show off on the trampoline yesterday (I'm still in my 20's! I can do that, right?) I miscalculated the length of my gangly limbs. I smacked my foot down on the metal edge of the trampoline so hard that I managed to break my toe. Lovely....
That makes the sixth bone I have broken since I turned 21!!
Excuse me, I need to go take pop a calcium pill and apologize to my daughter for the legacy I am giving her.

LOL!
It may run in the family, as I can do some remarkably clumsy things (that tend to startle any witnesses, mostly because they are so baffled that it actually happened), even though I am not one who could be classified as having "gangly limbs." The only bone I've broken was broken in childbirth (um...yeah). However, I have sustained multiple compresssion fractures (where a bone just gets totally squished flat, which causes doctors to look at me in amazement and say, "Wow, you've got great bones!"), dislocated and jammed fingers (the later being a way of life for me), torn muscles, cuts, bruises (i tend to run into furniture, walls, etc.).
Another thing that seems to run in the family, which you have so deftly exhibited here, is the writing ability. Good job!
