The day I lost my finger………nail


Once upon a time I was on my skate board with my friend but I didn’t know what was in store for me later that day. I was on my skate board with my friend and my sister push us both on the skateboard. But then my sister started getting fun with it. So she started swerving everywhere and then It got out of control I grabbed onto my skateboard while my sister swerved I clenched so hard and my sister just kept going and going. Then I must have grabbed at the sides to low on skateboard and we ran over my finger with me, and my friend on the board. I started screaming and crying but at the time I was only seven years old. But I still got hurt more than when your grandma comes over and pinches your little chubby cheeks. Or more than Muhammad Ali punching you straight in the face! My sister called my dad and he picked me up and brought me in to the house. Then they washed the blood out off my finger while I’m screaming my head off from the Pain. My sisters got out the first aid kit and started too wrap my finger in gauze. My friend who thought all this was his fault started crying too because he thought he was going too get it trouble. Then it started to quiet down and I had to live with the pain.

Then when I was swimming almost a month later my fingernail fell off! It didn’t hurt that much but I got freaked out so bad. But it was ok and it grew back months later.
