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
