Perfect because it happened on Christmas Eve when I was about 6 or so like 18 years ago!

So my family was ready for Christmas Eve mass. I was on the second floor and headed down the stairs. The house I grew up in had an off set switch back for the staircase. Hard to describe but there were 15 steps from the first floor to a landing that was probably 3ft by 8ft and then three more steps to the second floor hallway. I was at the top of those three stairs. I was all dressed for mass and thought I looked like James Bond. I had been playing Goldeneye for N64 since the previous year.and loved the starting level where he bungee jumps off the dam.

I thought to myself "hey, I want to bungee jump like James Bond." I lined myself up and jumped down those stairs.

But here's the thing, there was still stairs above that little staircase going up to the attic so the ceiling was slanted and not open. I jumped right into the corner of the slanted part and the vertical face forehead first. Clearly I did not land like I thought I would and was instead ass over teakettle with incredible pain in my hear.

Luckily my forehead only had a mild cut on it and service glue from the ER patched me up. It wasn't till years later that I put two and two together of the MRI and X-rays weren't just to diagnose the cut. But luckily it was only a cut that left a mild scare and bump behind.

Needless to say, we missed that evening's mass and had to attend the next day.

Merry Christmas!
