AS A CHILD I STAYED AT MY COUSIN HOUSE BECAUSE SHE KNEW EXACTLY HOW TO HAVE FUN. ONE DAY MY MAMA AND AUNT WAS THROWING A PARTY SO ALL THE KIDS HAD TO PLAY IN THE BASEMENT. EVERYONE WAS OVER THERE TOO ALL OUR COUSINS, WE WERE HAVING SO MUCH FUN. THEN IT HAPPENED...WE STARTED PLAYING HIDE AND SEEK. SO MY COUSIN FOUND ME AND SHE HAD TO CHASE ME. I STARTED RUNNING IN CIRCLES AROUND THE GLASS TABLE AND SHE WAS BEHIND ME! WE WAS ENJOYING OUR SELF SO MUCH, I JUST KNEW SHE WASN'T GOING TO CATCH ME. THEN I TRIPPED OVER THE TABLE LEG AND HIT MY CHIN ON THE GLASS. I MUST HAVE FELL PRETTY HARD BECAUSE THE GLASS SHATTERED. MY CHIN BEGUN SQUIRTING OUT BLOOD ALL OVER THE PLACE. I DON'T THINK I EVER SEEN THAT MUCH BLOOD I JUST BROKE DOWN IN TEARS. I DON'T REMEMBER IT HURTING I JUST REMEMBER BEING SCARED AND SCREAMING REAL LOUD. MY MAMA AND AUNT RAN DOWNSTAIRS TO FIND ME SITTING IN BLOOD CRYING. MY MAMA WAS SO AFRAID SHE JUST KEPT YELLING "WHO THIS TO MY BABY?...WHAT HAPPENED?" I HAD TO GO TO THIS BIG BUILDING THAT I LEARNED WAS THE HOSPITAL. I WAS REALLY SCARED IN THE HOSPITAL. I HAD TO GET STITCHES IN MY CHIN. WE WERE AT THE HOSPITAL LIKE ALL NIGHT. FINALLY WHEN WE GOT HOME MY MAMA AND ME HAD A LONG TALK. I COULDN'T BACK TO MY COUSIN FOR A LONG TIME. THIS BROUGHT ME CLOSER TO MY MOTHER. BECAUSE SHE WAS THE ONE THE AT THE HOSPITAL AND THEM DAYS I STAYED IN THE HOUSE HEALING. WE TALKED OF EVERYTHING. THIS WAS THE TIME THAT I REALIZE THAT A MOTHER CAN BE A BEST FRIEND. NOW THAT I'M OLDER MY MAMA AND I STILL HAVE THAT BOND.
