Ow
When I was about 8 I was rocking back on my chair in school as usual but unusually I fell and whacked my head on the pointy old radiator.

Went to casualty with a nice bleeding head. They couldn't find an anaesthetist so my mum agreed for them to do the stitches with no anaesthetic.

I don't actually remember feeling any pain from it though. I'd never been to hospital before (that I could remember) so it was all quite exciting, and I got a couple of days off school. I've still got a scar which people sometimes see when I've had my hair cut and ask me about.

I still occasionally rock back on chairs even though I'm 24.

Could you post a picture of the scar?
So I can show my kids why NOT to rock back on chairs.

Thanks :)

Mark?
This sounds very much like a story that happened to my best friend in primary school. You are also the same age.
