The 'feeling like an idiot' was my mom, with my contribution:
I was entering 8th grade, so I suppose I was almost 13....I was riding my bike and wearing a summer dress. My house is on a slight hill and I love going fast down it, which I did and made a hard left onto the street below....too hard. I went down with such speed and force that the bike skidded several feet with me still clinging on. I burnt a hole thru the dress and the slip under it, burned off some flesh from my thigh and knee...I picked up the bike and, crying and bleeding, walked it home.
Coming into the house, still sobbing from the pain, I called for my mom. She thought I was hysterically laughing, not crying and didn't come to my aid immediately. When I found her, she screamed, "Oh my God!!! What happened???" and later said she felt like a total idiot....
