When I was 13, I was in North Carolina with my family and we went to Grandfather Mountain. There is a zoo of some kind at the top. The zoo provides peanuts that you can feed to some of the animals. Anyway, we were at the deer exhibit. There was a fence then a moat of water and then the land for the deer. I was with my little cousin and I noticed that everytime she would throw the peanuts at the animals that she would miss and it would land in the water. What a waste! Then I noticed that I was doing the same thing.  I leaned over the fence a little further to throw the food but leaned too far. I went head first into the moat of water!!! I'm wading through the water screaming, "Help! The deer are going to eat me!" (I was 13...cut me some slack...I didn't know that deers aren't carnivores) The deer had actually scampered away when they saw me fall into the water. My uncle and my father had to pull me out of the water (back over the fence which ended up cutting my legs some more). I was bleeding and bruised. I was also drenched. My mother brought me into the bathroom and tried to dry me off via the hand dryer but it could only do so much. I had to walk around the zoo the rest of the day...bleeding and soaked. On top of it, a ton of people had seen my fall and I would hear whispers when I walked by them of, "Hey, that's the girl that fell into the deer water!" So freakin' embarrassing.....
I still have scars up and down my legs from where the fence cut me open.

That is such a great story...haha. It reminds me of one when I was about 14 and I was joining a gym. The guy was giving me a tour and showing me how to use all the equipment (he was REALLY hot...well by my 14 year old standards). Anyway, so we get to the treadmill and I was trying to look cool (again, I was 14) and said I already knew how to use it. So I hit the Start button...but apparently someone had just gotten off and had paused the machine so when I hit start it went back into sprinting speed. I didn't have any idea what was going on and I flew off the treadmill into some bikes that were behind it. I totally tore up my kneees and elbows and had huge bruises all over me the next day. Of course on my way out of the gym everyone was whispering and saying things like "that looked really bad, are you okay?" it was SO embarrassing. I still have scars on my knees from that fateful day...
