A Day I Will Never Forget

OUCH! GET HIM OFF OF ME! That is just one of the things I said that morning when it happened. Let me tell you about it. One warm early morning in October, during my grade 10 year, my Socials Class went on a field trip to an historic museum. We were all standing there listening to this kind Asian man commenting about the immigration and that rail road experiences. All of a sudden, a fellow class mate started to sway back and forth. I was wondering what he was doing. That is when it happened, he fainted. He didn’t just faint, he fainted and fell on me! I was lying there with this guy on me. I had broken his fall but no one was there to catch me. Falling, I hit my head pretty hard. The teacher was telling every one to stand back and give Hank space but the thing was he was still on top of me. It was like a ton of bricks had been dropped from the sky. They finally got him up and took him out of the room. I was sitting there with a goose egg on the back of my head. No one asked how I was. They just let me sit there and get some air. Until this day when ever I need a laugh I just look back on that moment.
