I began my career as a klutz aged three when I came screaming out into the garden covered in blood. Nobody knows what happened, I was too young to remember, but I still have a fairly substantial scar on my forehead.
Then.. Most notable ones, I grabbed my sister's dog by the infected neck accidentally and he bit me. I didn't want him put down as it was my fault so 11 year old me wore long sleeves all the way through a heatwave so nobody would know! My mother told me last year that she knew all along. Damnit..
Shattered my wrist playing with a sash window at college. That made my education as a musician challenging for a while!
The plug thing, and the knife thing.
I also ended up with a rusty nail through my foot and a torn webbing between big and second toes when trying to cut my front lawn (in south london) with a pair of nail scissors.
Ooh when I was 9 I was trying to tune my cello using pegs for the first time and the string broke and whiplashed into my face, I had this uber cool scar running from forehead to chin for yeaaars. Gone now though :p
I nearly drowned when I was 12 because I fell backwards into a horsetrough and got my head stuck under the water system in November and my family thought it was just too funny to get me out. I think I slipped on a half frozen cow pat.. Mmmmm
Oooh! I cut my thumb to the bone and even scored the bone permanently opening a can of kidney beans with a fork once. That was the day before a cello exam too. Right humiliating it was!
And my most recent, I rode my bike into a metal pole that ironically said 'cycle path' at high speeds and broke my collar bone. My bike didn't even get a scratch!
Im sure there are more but that'll do for now. I still think duck wins.
