A Little Girl Ouch
A Little Girl Ouch
We were jumping on the bed real high ~ Laughing, my big sister and I, being together, having fun. She would sometimes land on her bottom ~ but I was only three and that was too scary to me Then instead of coming back up, she grabbed my legs ~ down I went ~ right onto the headboard. Oh! Ouch! I hit my head ~ there was blood everywhere. My sister started crying so I did too. Mama came running. When she saw me she turned white then scooped me up…off to the hospital. I don’t remember the doctor or getting the stitches. Mama said I was a brave. I have a scar going through by left eyebrow as a reminder not to jump on beds.
sometimes it would be
fun to do something daring
without getting hurt
