The Day I Got A Broken Nose

I remember when I was young around 10-11 years old I use to be very playful that I don't have a specific time to play because I can play throughout the whole day and night without getting tired. There is a lot of children in the area I stay so it is always exciting to be around them because there's a lot of playful activities to engage on.

There is a particular house majority of us know as face me and face you where a lot of commotion do occur especially fighting. That is where I lived when I was young and to be sincere I was too playful that I hardly listen to corrections. There was a particular boy living in that house then, he was my close friend because we do play together and do things together.

Each time that my friend and I goes out to play there is always an assurance that our parents will beat the hell out of us because we do come back late and forget to do some house chores because of play. There was a particular day my friend and I came back from school on a friday and instead of we to go and change our school uniforms and then do some house chores, we decided to go out and play and this time it was a gaming center we went too.

We spent so much time there that we didn't even know the time was around 9pm and why that came to our notice was because the people who owns the gaming center were about closing to go home. So we decided to run back home knowing fully well that our parents will deal with the hell out of us lol. Our parents were so worried that they were confused where we would have gone hoping that nothing bad has happened to us.

My friend and I were confused as well because we didn't know what lie to tell our parents that would make them believe us. So instead of the fear we summon courage to confront them. When they saw us from far the beating they gave us that night was not something I can explain because we were so dealt with lol.

So after receiving such beating my mum still sent me to buy detergent so that I can wash the dirty dishes at home to continue my punishment lol. So when I went to buy what my mum sent me, I saw my friend crying with a bucket in his hand because he was told to go and fetch water. Instead of me to go and buy what they sent me I began to throw small stones at my friend to get his attention.

Though he didn't see me because I was hiding when throwing the stone at him. I didn't know he noticed that someone was throwing stone at him which even made him more angry and before I knew it my friend took a very big stone and threw it at me.

When I decided to come out again from my hiding spot to throw another Stone that was when that stone hit me in my nose so hard that I didn't remember anything anymore because I fainted that night and when I woke up I find myself in the hospital with a serious injury in my nose.

The doctor said I was lucky because I escaped death that if that stone should have hit me in the forehead it would have become a different story and since then I became humble with play and decided not to be playful and stubborn again.
