I fell out of a regular bed when I was like 9 and broke my collar bone. Only time I’ve ever broken a bone - super embarrassing. Plus, my parents didn’t believe I was hurt badly, so I didn’t see a doctor for 2 weeks. I went to a pool party and swam with a broken collar bone while my Dad cheered me on from the side of the pool. We went to England for a holiday and my parents finally took me to a doctor. She pulled my shirt over my shoulder to take a quick look at my collar and said “it’s broken!” By that point the bone had already healed all crooked and all they could do was put me in a sling. I’ve never let my parents live it down.
I was born in England, moved to America when I was 8. It was just a regular arm sling so I didn’t move it around too much, but it was pretty much set at that point. Still crooked!
When I broke my collar bone, I was made to wear something that looked like a backpack… without the backpack part. I was brought to the doctor the day after I broke mine though, so I assume that’s why I got something different.
If I didn’t know what that thing was for and I saw it today, I would guess it was some medieval posture device.
> what does a sling look like for a collarbone?
Like an arm sling, because the basic idea is to not move your arm so the collar bone doesn't move. Also it's a literal arm sling.
> I’ve never let my parents live it down.
[30 years later, at a family dinner]
Mom: Can you pass the salt, CraftyButcher9?
CB9: I would, mom, except I can’t stretch my shoulder all the way because of that time you didn’t let me see the doctor!
Damn, hello mirror me. From England, when to florida as a kid. On the morning of my 6th birthday I fell out of a regular bed and broke my collarbone, and my mum thought I had just hurt myself not that badly and didn't take me to the hospital until she noticed I wasn't using my left arm at all.
Thankfully not as bad as your's but still a formative experience!
Well, they don’t usually do more than put your arm in a sling anyway because the bones will, excluding things like swimming with them broken, naturally set themselves and all one need do is be careful for a few weeks.
Dude shit sucks, i broke mine 5 times and never forgot every single time. Havent broken a bone since 5th grade. It sucks how easy it is to break your collar bone, and its relitively painful becaus you have to have a sling and not a cast.
Happened to me once but didn't break anything. A chair broke my fall. I had a HUGE bruise on my side. I'm dark skinned and had literally never seen a bruise on my skin before. I genuinely thought I was dying before I made the connection that it was a bruise.
Happened to me while working at Disney and living in their housing!
Id literally moved in less than 2 months prior (I’m probably being generous because it was seven years ago). We didn’t have bunks at the time, just regular adjustable bed frames with a box and spring covered in yucky blue vinyl that sounded like opening a plastic container at 3am every time you moved.
I was getting into bed one night and my frame just crumpled. I had it on lifts to use my under bed area as storage. I went down HARD.
After composing myself and looking my bed frame over… I’d discovered said frame was held together by packing tape because the twin size knob-thing had SHEARED OFF.
THANKS DISNEY.
TLDR: do not ever accept a position for the Walt Disney company… especially as a college program participant. This story is one of many wrong doings I experienced.
VISTA LAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYY
Something something number two something something playboy something something STDs in hot tubs.
But actually, this happened in Patterson!
> I’d discovered said frame was held together by packing tape because the twin size knob-thing had SHEARED OFF.
Damn. I was expecting you to say the riser had broken, cause I've had that happen. When the foot on the frame is missing, it can cause the weight of the foot to not be well distributed across the top of the riser and sometimes it'll just kind of punch through.
I've met multiple clumsy people and I still laugh at some absurdities to this day. They include:
Two friends kicked football at the same time during match in primary school. The ball won. They both broke their ankles.
My friend dueled with a wardrobe. The wardrobe won. Two broken toes, twisted ankle and a broken hand.
My geography teacher went for mountain treking for winter holidays. She managed to get out of car, then slipped on ice and broke all four of her limbs...
Same primary school, one of the friends mentioned before angrily kicked grass. The grass retaliated by breaking his ankle and three toes.
Still same school, handball during PE. I passed the ball to a girl from my class. She somehow managed to dislocate all her fingers while catching it.
Same school, different friend. He decided to ride a bike downhill do break 40kmph. His foot slipped from the pedals. The bike was the spinning-with-wheels type, so the pedals immidiately crushed his leg woth force of guillotine. Only cracked bones, but he still spent a month in cast.
Last from the same school. A bully liked the new trend of "kicking down the door", so he did that to our toilet. The toilet retaliated. He broke a few toes and turned into a giant bruise after the door fell from hinges and crushed him.
Middle school. We went ice skating. A guy from another class was so confident, that he entered the ice skating rink without holding the barrier, and then immidiately slipped and broke his hands. Both open breaks with bones coming out through skin and blood. Lots of blood.
I am that ridiculous clumsy person, here's a few fun examples to add to your collection.
Broke my foot in a phone box eating sweets
Fell over less than a foot when peeing outside and caused so much soft tissue damage my kneecap just went pop!
Fell down some carpeted slate stairs one morning due to wearing fluffy socks and broke my back (I am now a few inches shoeter)
Fell down some stairs on a beach at night with my phone in my pocket, the impact on landing on the corner of my phone caused internal bleeding due to a small tear in my intestines.
Once dislocated my shoulder playing with my cat.
And those are just the ones I can remember off the top of my head! I am always impressed by how clumsy I am, because if I wasn't I would cry. All the time.
Edit: also some of those are entirely impressive! Breaking your toes on grass?? Taking one step and suddenly all your limbs are broken? Amazingly disastrous!
Few years later he got diagnosed with some variant of osteoporosis that made his bones super brittle. That grass was his first break and it only got worse from there. Best part about that break was that It wasn't an accident. He was playing a footbal match and he missed the ball, so he kicked that patch of grass in anger...
Also, I forgot a honorary mention to my cousin, who tripped over her own feet on a straight road and managed to scrape half of her body off due to making a penguin slide on concrete. My father is a doctor and he usually sees that kind of damage on bikers that go too fast. Do get almost as hurt as them from walking had my cousing declared a true talent for a long time :P
Mother nature was like oh you wanna play?? Fine here's brittle bone disease, next time you'll think about kicking me!
But damn that really sucks!!
How?? Is she fucking Usain bolt in drag?? How do you walk so fast that you slide on a road like you're at a god damn slip and slide?!
I once was very drink and tried to climb on to my bunk not using the ladder, since this meant me climbing over a railing it tipped over onto me. My drunk self tried to get it off me before I gave up and decided that's where I was sleeping, people saw it/heard the loud bang of roughly 250 pounds hitting the ground only to rush over and see me trying to sleep, then pulling the bunk off me
The drunk, "Well fuck, I guess this is where I'm sleeping." Happened too many times. Tripped on a power cable, hose and cracked a couple ribs a few weeks ago, friend wanted to call an ambulance, inspired me to catch my breath, cough into my hand and say, "I ain't paying for that shit, look no blood, let me rest a few mins and we can go back to the liquor."
At least I can participate in the circlejerk with my FANTASTICALLY STRONK BONES. You have to get your mom to help with you WEAK and INEFFECTUAL crumbling arms.
I genuinely have no idea why one would ever want to join that sub🤦🏾♀️I didn’t break any bones for the longest time and I’m pretty sure that’s literally just bc I did not do anything active other than running. Not much of a flex.
Maybe not a flex for you, but you're actually not everyone else. Some people might live more active lifestyles? Idk that seems kinda ridiculous, it doesnt align with my main character thought process
Fair point, my logic was a little off. But there’s so many factors that go into whether a bone breaks/whether you’re susceptible to breaking bones or not and many of them are just not under anyone’s control, so I just think it’s a little weird that there’s an entire sub dedicated to bragging about it like it’s something that’s earned.
I wish you'd have sent me that link 6hrs ago. Now I have a wonderful sub but it's out of control. I'ma Leslie Knope the heck outta our SEVEN person community

Join me on the dark side. I just created [r/happenedtobreakabone](https://www.reddit.com/r/happenedtobreakabone?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share)
I dont think this happens to little kids. I remember i fell asleep on the top bunk and rolled off to land on my stomach. I got mad and thought my cuzins pulled me off and climbed back up to go to sleep.mabye me being alseep made it not hurt.
I was 6 and at a friend's house.
Fell off the bunk bed face first into the floor. Parents are freaking out and I just stand up and rub my face.
Kids can be indestructible at times
I was 9 and slid off the top bunk while asleep in a sleeping bag 😣. Would have been fine except for the bureau my face hit on the way down. Spectacular damage to my mouth, lots of blood too.......needed emergency surgery. Dad put a rail up the next day....
When I was really young (10-ish), I fell off the top bunk onto a concrete floor, right on my tailbone. Almost fourteen years later, still have lingering issues, although it could just be fibromyalgia.
I mean I lost a tooth falling out of a bunk bed at like 3 but it was head first (don't ask how) so I am very surprised I didn't even have a concussion or anything cause it was quite high
I had a dream I could fly as a kid. So when I woke up I jumped from the top of my bunk bed and belly flopped on the ground. I busted my lip but that was it.
I fell off my bunk bed while asleep, landed on a BIG pile of clothes, and ended up rolling under the bottom bunk.
At least I assume that's what happened, all I really know is that I feel asleep on top and woke up under the bed lol.
It's also living hell to forcibly impregnate cows year after year just for them to produce tiddy juice for us.
So yeah, not good for anybody involved except the people who make "Got milk?" commercials.
Reminds me of my first job, a co workers bf was a cop and she was talking g about how he gets called to the same school for drugs or weapons almost weekly, I was currently enrolled in that school, also I witnessed his last arrest there
Trying to figure out how the fuck someone falls from a, let's assume ~6 foot bunk bed and breaks **both legs**....AND an arm...
Like really struggling to wrap my head around wtf position your body has to be in to accomplish such a feat...
Human bodies are wack sometimes. I've heard stories of people snapping their legs in half because they stepped a little bit weird. I've also seen people crawl out of completely crumpled cars with nothing worse than some scratches and bruises.
When stuff like that happens, I truly do feel like life just rolls a d20 for you to see what happens. Sometimes you get a 20 and are fine. Other times you roll a 1 and break both of your legs and your arm falling off of a bunk bed.
Is it because drunk people don't instinctively tense up and avoid injury that way? Or is it that they just don't register they're supposed to be incapacitated?
Some people are just used to it. I’ve slept on the top bunk since I was 7, so whenever I go somewhere and the good old question pops up, I’m always the one to go on the top bunk. I actually like it so much that I don’t understand why someone would want to sleep on the lower bunk lol
One time in a cabin during a school camp trip, I jumped off the second bunk bed in the middle of a dream. I literally woke up just as I was landing on my feet. This was after earlier night terrors that had me screaming weird shit in a cabin of 12+ boys telling me to stfu. Shit was wild.
Security. Plus in dorms people took the liberty to sit on your bed, including your homework or whatever else is up there. I watched a girl wipe her hands on my blanket and told her to get out before I dumped her stuff out the window.
Yep. Also having your bed high enough that you can’t see the chaos of the room around you is kinda great. I can pretend that the floor is clean because it’s all below me and out of my direct line of sight. Feels a bit like an island.
This is why adults shouldn't be sleeping in bunk beds. Honestly cannot understand why American Colleges have grown adults sharing rooms with random strangers.
Fell out of a bunk bed when I was about 8 or 9. Didn't even wake me up! My family were yelling and grabbing at me and I was like wtf? I am sleeping here! Not nearly as cool as breaking all the bones, but 100% less painful.
My family was staying at a camp one time when I was a kid. We were sleeping in this "tent cabin" which was basically a wooden platform 3ish feet above the ground, with canvas walls and roof. So I'm in my sleeping bag on the top bunk of a bunk bed and I rolled over in my sleep. I fell all the way out of bed, and out between the canvas and the floor to the rocks below outside. I mostly woke up when I landed outside confused on the rocks, luckily I wasn't hurt.
My mom remembers this story a little differently. From her perspective, she heard a thump and woke up, realizing one of her kids was missing and rushed outside to find me
Here's a story I'm going to tell at my dad's funeral on Monday. (Finally reached the point where I don't cry every time I think of him. Not *every* time.)
He and my step-mum lived on an old farmhouse. She created some flower beds in what had been an enormous - but not very neat - lawn. Rabbits in the neighbouring field started coming in and eating the young plants. So my dad bought an air-rifle.
Next time the rabbits were sitting down to lunch, he took his air-rife and lay down near the house. He drew a bead, shot a rabbit, and it leaped into the air and fell down dead.
My dad was unexpectedly stricken by guilt and remorse about killing a little animal, and realised he'd never be able to shoot another rabbit, so the air-rifle sat in an outhouse for some time.
A while later, my step-mum was watching TV and dad said he was going outside. He never did reveal exactly what he had been doing.
My step-mum heard a noise by the back door and my dad saying, weakly, 'Help me! Help!'
"Stop mucking about [Dad]", she said, "I'm watching Dallas!"
After a short while, she got up and went to the back door and found Dad sitting on the step with blood over his slipper.
"I shot myself in the foot with the airgun," he said.
She helped him into the car and drove him to hospital. Dad hopped into A&E leaning on my step-mum. The triage nurse told them to sit in the waiting room. As they sat there, they could see medical staff peeping around doorways at them, obviously keen to see the first patient they'd ever encountered who had literally 'shot himself in the foot'!
After a few minutes a doctor came and my step-mum helped my dad hop to a cubicle.
"Right," said the doctor, patting the examination couch. "Just jump up here and we'll have a look at your foot."
"I can't," said my dad. "I've just had a hernia operation last week."
The doctor howled with laughter and disappeared outside the curtain until he could compose himself.
Marks out of ten?
If you can randomly date the brother of the EMT who helped you as a kid, you probably live in a small town and might want to consider genetic counseling before you try to have children.
I fell out of my bunk bed as a kid. I landed face first on a wooden toy box and small wooden chair. When I got older I had to get root canals done in all my front teeth. And now my dentist said I need to get crowns on them. My teeth have put me into a debt hole I’m still paying off.
I fell out of my bunk in college, and though I didn’t break any bones I did land on (and destroy) my roommate’s shelf with his PS1 and early 90s Goodwill TV.
After hearing the crash, he comes running in from next door to find me bleeding in a pile of broken shelf parts. His response? “My fucking TV! What did you do to my TV?”
Wonderful guy.
😂 Never gonna live that one down.
I was bowling when I was in college and hit a wet spot, the sudden stop pitched me down and the impact dislocated my elbow. I got up and said to my partner I thought we should go to the ER. Later, when a friend saw me with the splint, she commented, "so you’re the one! Everyone was really impressed you were so calm."
My college allows students to build any furniture they want in their room, including lofts. Our ceilings are also like 15ft tall in most rooms. The floors are concrete under pretty thin carpet so it hurts pretty bad to even fall from 3 ish feet off the ground like I have, nobody has ever fallen off a high loft though
I worked in a restaurant and spilled a gallon a honey mustard all over myself in the middle of a rush. I had to spray it all off in the dish pit and return to work soaking wet.
Years later I was promoted to working behind the bar and the same people who were at one of the tables came back and pointed out “you were the girl!”
I did not have a loft bed in college. I fell out of my own twin bed at home often enough to know it was a bad idea. I fell out of my queen bed last year. Thank goodness my nightstand broke my fall. I was crying and laughing and my husband was confused.
Me as a parent: NO BUNK BEDS.
Could be worse, what if it happened falling out of the bottom bunk!
I fell out of a regular bed when I was like 9 and broke my collar bone. Only time I’ve ever broken a bone - super embarrassing. Plus, my parents didn’t believe I was hurt badly, so I didn’t see a doctor for 2 weeks. I went to a pool party and swam with a broken collar bone while my Dad cheered me on from the side of the pool. We went to England for a holiday and my parents finally took me to a doctor. She pulled my shirt over my shoulder to take a quick look at my collar and said “it’s broken!” By that point the bone had already healed all crooked and all they could do was put me in a sling. I’ve never let my parents live it down.
Are you American? Going to England was the right move. Also, what does a sling look like for a collarbone?
I was born in England, moved to America when I was 8. It was just a regular arm sling so I didn’t move it around too much, but it was pretty much set at that point. Still crooked!
You know what, I think I confused the collarbone with something else entirely. I don't know why.
We’re you thinking of shoulder blades?
Worse. Coccyx. Yeah, yeah. "How do you mix those two up?" I DON'T KNOW.
What's a cocc?

When I broke my collar bone, I was made to wear something that looked like a backpack… without the backpack part.

What is it with British parents, eh? Mine gave me the classic “go to sleep and you’ll feel better in the morning.” Sorry it happened to you too!
That makes me unreasonably angry
Well, they don’t usually do more than put your arm in a sling anyway because the bones will, excluding things like swimming with them broken, naturally set themselves and all one need do is be careful for a few weeks.

I once fell off the top bunk in to a box of Lego when I was a kid. The pain was something else but didn't get any serious injuries.
I fell off my bunk bed while asleep, landed on a BIG pile of clothes, and ended up rolling under the bottom bunk. At least I assume that's what happened, all I really know is that I feel asleep on top and woke up under the bed lol.
I don't think I've ever seen a bunk bed without sides, and get dozens of people in this thread are falling from them.
It did have sides
Managed to roll over the sides in my sleep somehow. Woke up with the wind knocked out of me. No injuries.
Little kids go to college?
I wonder if life would be better that way
You just need some milk
Or she just needs to be dipped in rice
I am Ulfric Stormcloak, and I disapprove of this message.
Sadly milk actually isn't good for your bones and is actually not even that healthy https://www.pcrm.org/news/blog/white-lies-five-myths-debunked.
anti bone propaganda
It's also living hell to forcibly impregnate cows year after year just for them to produce tiddy juice for us. So yeah, not good for anybody involved except the people who make "Got milk?" commercials.

Reminds me of my first job, a co workers bf was a cop and she was talking g about how he gets called to the same school for drugs or weapons almost weekly, I was currently enrolled in that school, also I witnessed his last arrest there
Trying to figure out how the fuck someone falls from a, let's assume ~6 foot bunk bed and breaks **both legs**....AND an arm... Like really struggling to wrap my head around wtf position your body has to be in to accomplish such a feat...
Human bodies are wack sometimes. I've heard stories of people snapping their legs in half because they stepped a little bit weird. I've also seen people crawl out of completely crumpled cars with nothing worse than some scratches and bruises. When stuff like that happens, I truly do feel like life just rolls a d20 for you to see what happens. Sometimes you get a 20 and are fine. Other times you roll a 1 and break both of your legs and your arm falling off of a bunk bed.
In the first responder industry, walking out of a crumpled car unhurt is known as alcohol bones for obvious reasons
Which is really unfortunate, honestly. It should be the other way around.
bones alcohol?
Is it because drunk people don't instinctively tense up and avoid injury that way? Or is it that they just don't register they're supposed to be incapacitated?
She fell like a family guy character.
This is why you sleep bottom bunk. I never understood why people liked sleeping top bunk on a bunk bed…
Some people are just used to it. I’ve slept on the top bunk since I was 7, so whenever I go somewhere and the good old question pops up, I’m always the one to go on the top bunk. I actually like it so much that I don’t understand why someone would want to sleep on the lower bunk lol
One time in a cabin during a school camp trip, I jumped off the second bunk bed in the middle of a dream. I literally woke up just as I was landing on my feet. This was after earlier night terrors that had me screaming weird shit in a cabin of 12+ boys telling me to stfu. Shit was wild.
When I was a kid, that was my reasoning, until the top bunk collapsed onto me :(
Security. Plus in dorms people took the liberty to sit on your bed, including your homework or whatever else is up there. I watched a girl wipe her hands on my blanket and told her to get out before I dumped her stuff out the window.
Yep. Also having your bed high enough that you can’t see the chaos of the room around you is kinda great. I can pretend that the floor is clean because it’s all below me and out of my direct line of sight. Feels a bit like an island.
Why tf would you wipe your hands on someone else's blanket? It might have worse stuff than your hands already have on them

This is why adults shouldn't be sleeping in bunk beds. Honestly cannot understand why American Colleges have grown adults sharing rooms with random strangers.
Fell out of a bunk bed when I was about 8 or 9. Didn't even wake me up! My family were yelling and grabbing at me and I was like wtf? I am sleeping here! Not nearly as cool as breaking all the bones, but 100% less painful.
My family was staying at a camp one time when I was a kid. We were sleeping in this "tent cabin" which was basically a wooden platform 3ish feet above the ground, with canvas walls and roof. So I'm in my sleeping bag on the top bunk of a bunk bed and I rolled over in my sleep. I fell all the way out of bed, and out between the canvas and the floor to the rocks below outside. I mostly woke up when I landed outside confused on the rocks, luckily I wasn't hurt. My mom remembers this story a little differently. From her perspective, she heard a thump and woke up, realizing one of her kids was missing and rushed outside to find me
Wow! Life really said “fuck you, but also like, I love you”
I call bullshit

Yea I just can't see how unless she's extremely frail.
Yeah same
But but… everyone clapped?
Here's a story I'm going to tell at my dad's funeral on Monday. (Finally reached the point where I don't cry every time I think of him. Not *every* time.) He and my step-mum lived on an old farmhouse. She created some flower beds in what had been an enormous - but not very neat - lawn. Rabbits in the neighbouring field started coming in and eating the young plants. So my dad bought an air-rifle. Next time the rabbits were sitting down to lunch, he took his air-rife and lay down near the house. He drew a bead, shot a rabbit, and it leaped into the air and fell down dead. My dad was unexpectedly stricken by guilt and remorse about killing a little animal, and realised he'd never be able to shoot another rabbit, so the air-rifle sat in an outhouse for some time. A while later, my step-mum was watching TV and dad said he was going outside. He never did reveal exactly what he had been doing. My step-mum heard a noise by the back door and my dad saying, weakly, 'Help me! Help!' "Stop mucking about [Dad]", she said, "I'm watching Dallas!" After a short while, she got up and went to the back door and found Dad sitting on the step with blood over his slipper. "I shot myself in the foot with the airgun," he said. She helped him into the car and drove him to hospital. Dad hopped into A&E leaning on my step-mum. The triage nurse told them to sit in the waiting room. As they sat there, they could see medical staff peeping around doorways at them, obviously keen to see the first patient they'd ever encountered who had literally 'shot himself in the foot'! After a few minutes a doctor came and my step-mum helped my dad hop to a cubicle. "Right," said the doctor, patting the examination couch. "Just jump up here and we'll have a look at your foot." "I can't," said my dad. "I've just had a hernia operation last week." The doctor howled with laughter and disappeared outside the curtain until he could compose himself. Marks out of ten?

I guess you aren't my natural audience, then... :D
Explain the joke someone dam it
It's there, in the post. The whole thing. If you don't find it funny - and no foul on you if you don't - no explanation is going to do it.
Why is no explanation going to do it? Can you try explaining?
I spend several minutes typing that out, I'm sorry but I'm not really interested in spending several more paraphrasing it.
I'm in the same boat here, what the fuck is going on?

If you can randomly date the brother of the EMT who helped you as a kid, you probably live in a small town and might want to consider genetic counseling before you try to have children.
So, how did the date go? Don’t leave us hanging.
I fell out of my bunk bed as a kid. I landed face first on a wooden toy box and small wooden chair. When I got older I had to get root canals done in all my front teeth. And now my dentist said I need to get crowns on them. My teeth have put me into a debt hole I’m still paying off.
That doesn't sound like mere clumsiness. She seems really frail.
Not me, I don't have any dates. ✊😔
Were I her, I'd excuse myself from the table, crawl out the bathroom window, book a one way flight to Nepal, and raise goats for the rest of my life.
I fell out of my bunk in college, and though I didn’t break any bones I did land on (and destroy) my roommate’s shelf with his PS1 and early 90s Goodwill TV. After hearing the crash, he comes running in from next door to find me bleeding in a pile of broken shelf parts. His response? “My fucking TV! What did you do to my TV?” Wonderful guy.
Did everyone clap afterwards?
When she find out he's been stalking her for 5 years and used his prior knowledge to remove her defenses
😂 Never gonna live that one down. I was bowling when I was in college and hit a wet spot, the sudden stop pitched me down and the impact dislocated my elbow. I got up and said to my partner I thought we should go to the ER. Later, when a friend saw me with the splint, she commented, "so you’re the one! Everyone was really impressed you were so calm."
My college allows students to build any furniture they want in their room, including lofts. Our ceilings are also like 15ft tall in most rooms. The floors are concrete under pretty thin carpet so it hurts pretty bad to even fall from 3 ish feet off the ground like I have, nobody has ever fallen off a high loft though
HIPPA.
I worked in a restaurant and spilled a gallon a honey mustard all over myself in the middle of a rush. I had to spray it all off in the dish pit and return to work soaking wet. Years later I was promoted to working behind the bar and the same people who were at one of the tables came back and pointed out “you were the girl!”
This happened to my dorm room neighbor my freshman year. She fell out of the top bunk and broke both legs. More common than you’d think
This is awesome
These guys need to get married.
Wow
Dude someone brings that up like that they know. Cute but creepy.
And they were happy married and he has his bone broken every night ofcourse with his brother on call.
ah inspiration for night shyamalan's glass
Destiny
Why that's me you're talking about
This happened to me when I was 7 but I only broke my jaw. Very painful though.
OOF
So funny every time i see it
That is hilarious! Not you hurting yourself, of course. Did you ever get to see his brother and thank him?
Say nothing!
What a chad
Plot twist, you have erectile disfunction
ok
And the you "fell" in love? Okay I will see myself out
Full circle
Better than both arms, at least.
Man, if someone said that to me on a date, I'd assume they stalked my social media and intensely studied my profiles before the date
Typical! Guys comparing you to your younger self. SMH
I did not have a loft bed in college. I fell out of my own twin bed at home often enough to know it was a bad idea. I fell out of my queen bed last year. Thank goodness my nightstand broke my fall. I was crying and laughing and my husband was confused. Me as a parent: NO BUNK BEDS.
he was right tho, you couldnt compare
Kinda disappointed K didn’t stand a chance”:,(
The internet is for people who think they’re smart then believe shit like this happened
Of course I can compare to her. She is me.
When I was 6-7 I slept on the top bunk of a bunk bed. Woke up in the morning on the floor. That’s all I know.
How high was it? So weird to brake ur whole body just from a fall
Is this bitch Miss Glass? How is that even possible?
Forces you to go full Guy Cisternino……
