My sister Cindy is accident prone and was always getting hurt as a child . An abridged list:
7: A tornado demolished our school. When the tornado hit Cindy’s teacher told the kids to get down. Cindy, confused, raised her hand to ask her to repeat the directions. A piece of glass flew through the air into her hand. Cut on finger.
8: My sister Michelle accidentally knocked over a boiling hot cup of tea and it fell on Cindy’s stomach. Third degree burns.
8: Cindy tried to coax a kitten out of a tree and it jumped down - onto her face. Minor scarring.
9: Cindy was playing kick ball with the neighborhood kids and caught the ball with her wrist. She came home crying and I told her if she could move her wrist it wasn’t broken - and then forcibly moved her wrist in every possible direction. Broken scaphoid bone.
10: Cindy was riding her bike along a two-lane road and was “bumped” by a passing motorist. She flew through the air and somehow (adrenaline and luck) the driver was able to stop his car, get out and catch her before she hit the ground. Minor bruising.
