Only once ...

I tripped over a chair yesterday.

I stubbed my toe the day before.

I head butted the cupboard about five minutes ago.

I’ve broken all my fingers

(I don’t even remember how I did that.)

I hammered my thumb like a rite of passage.

I choked on a sweet aged five.

I nearly drowned in the bath at one point.

I yelled at my mother once.

 

That is the only time I ever feared for my life!
