I have a scar on my scrotum where I fell out of a tree aged about 5 and got tangled in a thorn bush.
I have scars across the heels of both hands where I came off my pedal bike onto gravel one day I was late for school and tried to turn the final corner into the driveway at full speed instead of walking up the drive.
I have a small scar between the 2nd and 3rd knuckles of my left hand where I dropped burning plastic on myself aged about 12 whilst trying to seal the end of a piece of nylon rope.
I have a scar across the side of my left thumb where I was chopping an onion and landed a very sharp very heavy kitchen knife in the wrong place. It was only stopped by my thumbnail but went half way to the bone. I was preparing a meal for myself at lunchtime on the day of my first A level exam (the ones you take to get into university in the UK). I wrapped it in kitchen paper, put my gloves on and cycled back to school for my exam. I'm left handed, so had to hold the pen in my fist. I passed well and got into uni.

In labyrinths of Coral Caves,
The Echo of a distant time
Comes willowing across the sand;
And everthing is Green and Submarine
