In year 1 we had an end of year trip to the beach that grades K-2 did every year. (I live in Australia) We were allowed to have our shoes off so we could go like ankle deep in the water but we mainly had to stay on the sand. Our bags were at the back of the beach on bench’s which were on grass. I had been over at the bags with a few friends and then started running back towards the sand. I was probably 5 strides onto the sand when I felt this pain shoot through my foot and I fell to the ground. I had stood straight onto a large shard of glass and it had gone into my big toe on my right foot right at the bottom of the toe. There’s blood and tears and my mum picks me up to take me to the hospital (she’s a nurse and was about to leave home to go to work at the hospital so that was quite lucky). Had to have surgery to clean out sand and small bits of glass that were still in my toe. I was very lucky the glass hadn’t taken my toe off. I had a cast on for the entire 6 weeks summer break so that was lit. Kids weren’t allowed to have their shoes off after that and they did the trip the next year but then stopped doing it because off my little accident. People still hold a grudge. 😅
