BAMB, I fell.... again

Saturday, the one day of the week it feels like you can actually relax. Today is the last day of Story week! Let me know if you liked it or not, so if you did maybe I can do it again.

The story I have been dying to tell, I think I will share today.

I was about 6 years old. It was almost summer, and I was enjoying the spring air playing in the drive way. My dad was in the garage working on some project and my mom and sister were getting ready to leave and go shop or something that "women" do. All morning I was playing with this little tykes car. It was yellow and red and you put your feet through the bottom to push the car. Only the driver side door opened, and the whole thing was plastic and small. But compared to my little kid body it was the perfect size for me. Right before my mom left she got on to me for trying to climb on top of my car. So naturally that made me want to do it more, and try harder. Finally when my mom and sister were gone I tried again. With my dad's back to me in garage, I started my climb. Things where going well as I climbed from inside the car, out the window to the top. But when most of my weight was out of the car, BAMB! I fell, which was a natural occurrence for me because I naturally have bad balance and fall a lot. But this fall, it was catastrophic. I fell face first into the concrete drive way. I had my glasses on, and they shattered, leaving behind a shard in my eyebrow. I instantly cried, and my dad walked over to see a puddle of blood and broken glass. He took me inside and gave me a wash cloth to hold on my eye while he called 911. The people on the phone told him to just drive me to the hospital because it would be faster and I might loose too much blood if we weight too long. I can't really remember much after that, until I saw the stitches above my eye. I think I had 7 or maybe 11? I'm not sure. But I know it was a lot! All this happened because I thought I was smarter than my mom. Oh goodness. I still have the scar today. For the amount of times I have hurt myself doing something similar to this is kind of crazy, but I think I turned out alright. I hope you got a nice laugh out of my story, because I kinda think its funny! I fell flat on my face.

That;s all for story week! Hope you enjoyed. See ya tomorrow for my thoughts on the world. :)
