I was playing in my auntie's room with my cousins when I decided to climb up the window to see what it looks like. So there I was just standing on the windowsill with my superman pajamas on. These pajamas had plastic feet. I had a towel around my neck for the cape. At the time, I was wondering what it would feel like to fly. Then out of nowhere, my aunty came in to check on us. When she opened the door I heard it squeak, and quickly did a one hundred and eighty degree turn to see whom it was and slipped landing head first on the ground. Then my aunty rushed to wake my mom up, then my mom rushed down the stairs and picked me up, before she could do anything else, she had to push my face back together. Then she wrapped a towel over my head and called a cab (the cab was quicker because it was parked just up the road from the residence. Then they rushed me into the emergency room. They couldn't stitch me up because I was crying too much so my mom went to get my uncle Lance who was in the waiting room. So he came in and sat me up on the table, he started rubbing my back to sooth me and whispered in my ear, 'Shhhh, Destri. It's okay. You'll be okay. You have to stop crying so the doctors can fix you. Will you do that for your uncle?' Then he laid me down on the table and told the doctors to stitch me up. When they were done I had a hundred and forty stitches on my face and in my mouth.
