another time my cousins and i got a brilliant idea. we tied a wagon to a bike, and one of my cousins sat in the wagon with me while the other one rode the bike around the neighborhood.
he started going down a hill, and couldn't hear us telling him to slow down because those wagon plastic wheels were too loud. he went around a corner and we teetered back and forth until we tipped over. my cousin landed on top of me and we skidded across the pavement. my ankle lost tons of flesh, you could see down to the bone. also my knees and toes and hands and elbows were all gouged. it was pretty gross, but how do you get stitches when it's a broad scrape?

well, it didn't exactly happen on the playground. It was in the classroom -
It was kindergarten and one of my homies was building a structure with blocks. All of a sudden this kid comes over and kicks down all his hard work. I was standing there witnessing the whole thing and... so, I shoved the kid. He stumbles and goes forehead first into the corner of a piano bench. He stumbles to his feet with a stream of blood shooting, I kid you not, about 5 feet straight out of the center of his forehead. He was screaming. The teacher rushed him to the clinic. I stood there and cried. Very traumatic experience. I felt so bad. Later that evening after my mom jerked a knot in my tail for it, she made me go to his doorstep (he lived just around the block) with an armload of coloring books and crayons.
The memory is so vivid.

When I was 5 or 6 I put the christmas tree lights plug in my mouth. I was trying to be an underwater diver and wanted the mouth peace thing. Next thing I know I am getting "240 volt" going straight throw my mouth. I collapsed and pasted out.
This is the amazing thing. I should be DEAD, when it happened there was no-one in the house at all. My mum found me about 4 hours later under the christmas tree asleep.
She still does not now too this day what happened to me.

i remember watching a boy carry a car tire up the ladder to roll it down the slide. He was about 3/4 up waiting for his turn when he decided to play "ring toss" with a girls head that was below him. He made it!... it busted the girls lip up pretty bad, though.
it was surreal at the time to have witnessed.

When I was in grade school me and my friend use to like to throw our 'nilla wafers at the other kids.It was called 'hucking 'nilla wafers'. Well, one of the girls at school didn't like getting hit with them and throw a rock back at me. three stiches later I was back at it, 'hucking 'nilla wafers'.
Those were the days.

on that note:
i have proven that sticking your tongue to the leads on an electric race car track does in fact have a bitter shocking taste.

also, no matter what grade ninja you are, do not throw a pvc pipe horizontally, full force, at a nearby tree. that day my face was proof that, apparently, tree's are fucking pvc-deflecting ninjas too!

a friend and i snuck ladyfingers (the firecracker, not real fingers from ladies) into school. we were going to lite them on the playground for break. the first one he lit and as i was goign to throw it it blew up in my hand. it was almost instantaneous. hurt like a bitch and burned a bit but no blood. for a few seconds i wouldn't look at my hand fearing my dads 'you'll blow your hand off' talk had come true.

when i was like in 3rd grade we where playing baseball at recess. the bells rings as the pitcher is pitching, so the batter takes a whack at it. the catcher however, hears the bell at stands up to go in. batter misses ball, hits catcher square in the teeth with teh metal bat. blood squirts everywhere and teeth are on the ground. everyone was like totally freaked out so we all left him bleeding and ran into school.
I still feel bad about that.

When I was in second grade, we were playing in the gym and inside this storage room that was a great hiding/climbing place.
This girl slipped on the slick concrete floor and her head fell onto a long carrying device for folding chairs. There were no chairs, and her forehead made a direct connection with this sharp edge.
It totally peeled her forehead skin back, I remember us saying that it looked like a taco all rolled up. OMG there was so much blood, the poor girl was only like 7 or 8.
Ugh, I'm cringing, I can barely type right now...

also in first grade, chasing a girl, she darted in to the "off limits" wooded area of the playground, I was right behind her, she did a quick evasive move, I ran eye-first into a cut branch (the pursuit ended there). It was not sweet.
It was excruciating... I did some minor damage to my eyeball.
I remember, at that age, thinking I had "chipped" my eyeball, like it was made of porcelain or something.

In the UK we used to play British Bulldogs, which involved charging from one side of the playground to the other. I was running full tilt, triped over and my fall was broken with my teeth. I lost 7 teeth (baby) in one sitting.
