THE Thread

I am a walking, talking, living, breathing example of why little boys should listen to their mothers when they are repeatedly told not to throw sticks at one another....
My dad always told me the story of when he was little. He was walking home from school with some friends, just happened to look up after hearing a rattle in a pine tree above him, and received a dropping pine needle right in his eye. He said it stuck in about 2 mm into his eye. It wasn't in the retina though, it dropped into the surrounding white part. His eyesight is fine today though, pretty lucky if you ask me.

On the way to the hospital (keep in mind I was 7 at the time) I don't know what I was more scared of....the way Dad was driving or the way he was talking.

I hadn't heard any cuss words before that day.

On the way to the ER I heard all of them plus a few I'm pretty sure Dad made up on his own.

Once, straight out of A Christmas Story, I was shooting my friends BB gun (I always used pellets cause they pwn) and I shot at a bamboo stick and that shit bounced off right back at my eye, but I saw it and blinked so it hit my eye-lid. It was a close one though //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif
