This is a question "You're doing it wrong"

Chthonic confesses: "Only last year did I discover why the lids of things in tubes have a recessed pointy bit built into them." Tell us about the facepalm moment when you realised you were doing something wrong.

I was twelve, playing in the wood across the road with some mates.
There was a dell with what can only be described as a soggy bottom. One of my friends, Ben, was poking the soggy bottom with a stick. It was the kind of summer holiday afternoon when poking some mud with a stick was the most entertaining thing we could think of.

Then I noticed the pile of wood a few yards behind us, left over from some tree felling. An idea popped into my brain. I’d pick up the biggest piece I could, throw it into the mud and splash Ben in rotting bog slime. Comedy gold.

The other two mates watched with out comment as I struggled to get the section of tree trunk hefted over my head, ran the five steps to reach Ben and launched the surprisingly heavy piece of wood. In my mind the wood passed just over Ben’s head and dropped into the mud. In reality I stoved Ben’s head in.

With a grunt, that was more air escaping from his lungs than a conscious cry he collapsed to the floor. Blood was pouring from the ugly gash in his skull. The other two guys stood routed to the spot mouths open. I knew it was a prank gone wrong, to them it looked nothing less than cold blooded murder.

The moment was broken by “What the fuck did you do that for” from Ben who’d returned from the dead. He pulled a blood soaked hand from the back of his head and stared incredulously? “Have I got blood on my jumper!”


Edit:

Yes he did, lots of blood. By the time we’d walked him the 100 yards to his house the stain reached the small of his back.

Luckily his head was more ‘scalped’ than stoved in, after stitches and an overnight stay at the hospital he was back out with us.
