17. The best person to fall on.
My kid count? He broke his arm on an orthopedic surgeon — yes, on the surgeon. Fell off the monkey bars at school, just as the doc was walking underneath to pick up his own kid. Hit the doc’s shoulder the wrong way, broken bone. The doc was bemused by the whole thing.

18. Listen to your mother!
I poured scalding hot boiling water down my chest because my mom said said there was a hot water tank issue and if I wanted to take a shower I should use the kettle *and a washcloth* but I was playing video games and only heard if I wanted hot water I should use the kettle

19. This is a cartoon in human-form.
As a young electrician, working in an attic w/ no head room. Stripped end of wire, & the end flew into my eye. Reflex is to jerk head away, right into roofing nails that poke thru plywood. Reflex to THAT was to pull away, slammed chin on rafter, & then back to the nails, & so on.

20. The animals want to hurt us.
Broken bones:
1) Tripped over a chicken. Broken leg.
2) Caught a finger in a lunging dog’s collar. Broken finger.
3) Tried to go through a stall door at the same time as a horse. Broken wrist.The goats are planning their assault, I presume.

21. The fear is worse sometimes.
In 7th grade we had to get the TB test (shot?) in school. I’m afraid of shots. I ended up passing out, slamming my head on a file cabinet and then the floor. I got such a bad concussion that I had a seizure. I was carried out on a stretcher in front of the whole school. ????

24. Who can blame you?
when I was 10 I landed my first successful backhandspring on the balance beam

25. The things we do for love.
On a ferris wheel with a girl I liked, stopped at the top, I tried to impress her by unscrewing one of the ride’s lightbulbs. It exploded in my hand. I spent the rest of a VERY slow ride in pain, with a black hand looking like a cartoon bomb went off. SHE WAS NOT IMPRESSED. https://t.co/C2sPyssDE7

26. Ask your doctor if bad drugs could do this to you.
When I was young and stupid I took some bad drugs at a party & broke out in a rash the next day & the doctor was like ‘hmm it could be leukemia’ so I got a skin biopsy & when the results came back he said ‘no, it was bad drugs’. Anyway, that biopsy scar. https://t.co/MV3KTPoop0
