Teen's party

2009 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

Well, I'm a French young man and I'm able to prove that young french people are as dumb as any other.

When I was young (maybe 8 or 10) , my oldest sister was giving a party for her birthday. All her friends from school were there and I was a bit alone within all those people who had nearly twice my age. After a bit of time trying to get attention from them (well, I was young: all child want attention from their elder) , I was alone , sitting on a bench , when I saw my other sister and my father running after a man in my garden.

And there I thought: "they are playing tag!!!" (I didn't say I was clever... In fact, the man, one of the guests, threw a smokebomb during the party and my family wanted to throw him out) . And I began to run after the boy... And I was fastest.

I caught one of his legs and didn't want to let him go. Panicked , the boy began to turn on himself in hope that , terrified, I would try to run away and he was right: the centrifuge force (I'm not sure how to say this in English) threw me head on in ... a stone pillar. Luckily , I wasn't too much injured : I lost a tiny piece of bone (I'm not sure, but I have a sort of hole in my head now, a bit higher than the eyes)and bled a lot. But I get all the attention I wanted: the (young and beautifull) female friends of my sister were all over me to console me and give me hugs. In fact, that wasn't so bad.

But what is frightening when I remember it is that I could have died: in front of my house , there is a wall of flowers with thorns and then... a gap of nearly two or maybe three floors which end on concrete (that's the house of my neighbor) ... If I had let go one or three seconds later, I would have died.

Thanks for an interesting story but it sounds to me like it's all the result of youthful innocence and not blatant stupidity.
