Have you ever been to the emergency room?
Yes. A millions times.

Are you accident prone? :)

Accident prone enough as a kid that my GP started to suspecr I was being maltreated at home. Seriously.

After extensive examinations and quizzing (coupled with the fact that every time I got a particularly nasty bruise/cut/whatever my mother would whisk me off to the docs or something anyway) he delivered his damning verdict to my mother: "Mrs ****, I'm afraid you're just going to have to accept the fact that you have a very clumsy child, who bruises easily."

I'd have been mortified if I hadn't been 4 yrs old!

*laughs* Awww, whereas my mum would just leave me to get on unless my arm got torn off or something similar :)

No, you don't understand, my parents were very much the "if you can't see bone, it'll be ok" type. Unfortunately, there seemd to be lots of times when you could see bone, blood or general gore!

Ahhh, it was the phrase "bruises easily" that put me off there ;)

How did you make it through childhood?!

[link] [parent] [reply]

The easy bruising just meant that everything looked *even worse* than it should've!

I made it through childhood by becoming very tolerant to the pain level associated with broken limbs!
