When I was 7 - turning around to see how far ahead of my friend that I was, while riding my bicycle at top speed. I turned back around to face forward just in time to see a telephone pole in my path. That's all I remember. I'm missing the next 3 or 4 hours of my life there. No memory of it at all. Except that I woke with a huge black eye that lasted for months and a headache that lasted almost as long.
When I was 8 - Climbing a tree, in a dress (Mom wouldn't let me wear pants - too masculine) and getting it caught on my way down. I had slide down to the next branch down and it got caught behind me in such a way that I didn't even have enough slack to turn around and climb back up. I was stuck there for what seemed like an hour to me.
Last year - running down the cement basement stairs with a overfill laundry basket blocking my view. I got a broken foot for my efforts. I was just trying to hurry cause the baby was going through separation anxiety and was crying.
