I'm not a parent yet, but I was quite a handful as a kid, and I've heard the stories of my accidents, and recall some too, from my mom. I'll share a few:
- When I was about 5, I was at my grandma's house, and she had family visiting for a few days. Her brother-in-law took heart pills, and I managed to get my hands on them and swallow them!
- When I was a little kid, I managed to swallow some crazy chemicals. I think I ingested polish, or wood cleaner.
- When I was 7, I ripped open the space between my bottom lip and chin while sleeping. We have no idea how, but it involved a lot of stitches, and left a nasty scar.
- We have 14 narrow steps going up to the bedrooms in my house, and my brother and I fell down them countless times, even more recently. My brother managed to sprain his arm when he was 2 falling down those damn steps. And they're carpeted!
- This one is the best. I was maybe between a year and two years, sitting in a car seat. My mom ran inside the house to grab something. The car was off. I managed to take off the emergency brake, and the car rolled down our sloped driveway, and up the driveway of the neighbours. lol! Every time my mom tells that story, she mentions how terrifying that was.
- I was/am a very clumsy person. I remember when I first got my tall dresser, it was on carpet, and wobbled. Nearly every time I opened up the doors, it would fall on me. I was about 6 or 7 around that time.
- Even more recently I've managed to scare my mother by slicing my hands open and heading off to the hospital by myself, having a shock seizure, dislocating my ankles numerous times, and a workplace incident that kept me in bed for a few days.
