spill the best (accident) stories of your childhood

[smiley21]

When I was 4 yrs old, I had a cold and needed to blow my nose. After I did, I went to throw my tissue away in the kitchen. My mom had just finished cooking and had turned the oven off but it was still hot. My sister, who was 3, was with me and told me that I should touch the coil in the oven (we could see it through the oven) with the tissue. I opened the oven and did it. It caught on fire while the tissue was still in my hand. I freaked and dropped it on the floor. The little fire went out but it charcoaled part of the kitchen floor. My parents were ticked!! lol....My sister and I were crazy when we were little!

When I was 4 I stuck my fingers in the VCR and I couldn't get them out. It ripped off one fingernail. That was pretty awesome.

I think when I was little baseball was the root of all evil. When I was around 4 my brother decided to have batting practice off his tee in the garage. I was rocking on my rocking horse and he decided to put his tee right beside me. He took a swing, and yes, 4-year old axidgl took a metal bat to the noggin. My parents took me to the hospital, no problems other than the massive black eyes I had...and there have been no lasting effects...at least I hope not!!

Then when I was around 8 I went to watch my brother play a game at the "industrial park" where there were about a million fields, and 10,000 tons of gravel instead of sidewalk or grass. I, along with 4 of the other "team sisters" got bored and decided to have the Olympics-- on gravel. My cartwheel, front handspring combination did not earn me a ten. It earned me a trip to the ER with every bone in my right hand broken. An entire summer in a hot, itchy cast going to camp and not being able to swim- I was a sad little girl.

I have only recently been able to begin attending baseball games in person again.
