What’s the story behind your weird scar(s)?

I see, you also were one of those "active" kids :)

  • Climbed a tree and fell. Grabbed the stub of a broken off branch on the way down, cleanly opened up my entire palm.
  • Helped dad repair a hole in the roof during a storm. A roof tile from further above got blown in, through the hole, hit me in the head.
  • Tombstone fell onto my leg, breaking my femur bone.
  • Playing at the river. Me right down at the river bank, my little sister way up on the bank. She lobs a large rock, trying to land it in the river. Hits my foot, several broken bones.
  • Running around in the house, someone unexpectedly opened up a door in front of me. Door handle was on my head height, I got my mouth caught on it, it went out straight through my right cheek.
  • Tried jumping across the corner at a public swimming pool. It was slipperly. Hit my head on the floor, and went into the water. Head wounds can bleed like crazy, and blood in water makes it look 10x as dramatic as it is.
  • Had that guy in art class that was that was always stealing my pen to annoy me. One day I saw him holding my pen, and when he wasn't looking I grabbed it tight with my first and tried to rip it out of his hand. Turns out he was holding an X-Acto knife with the blade out.
