Yes, I know it’s the wrong color, but if I had a love bug it would be pink. Here’s my love bug story. Remember that I am old and it happened a long time ago!
Our movie theater, like most, had a sign that they got a ladder climbed up and changed the dates, shows, and times. They were individual letters and numbers and in my day they weren’t plastic, they were metal. They were very heavy.
While standing in line to pay to get in to see Love Bug, the number 9 fell from the sign and landed on my head. Blood came gushing and they grabbed my and my friends, put a towel and some ice on my head, seated us and brought us all the candy, popcorn and drinks we could handle. I had a massive headache, but I wanted to see the show.
So my head kept bleeding and I kept eating and watching the show. We walked home together to be safe and went into my house because we had planned a sleep over. I remember my Mom yelling “What is in your hair, it’s all red?”
I said “I don’t know”.
One of my smarter friends said “It’s probably blood she got konked in the head by number 9.”
We laughed. Mom did not.
That is a very nice story and I love the pink car.
lol, you thought it was nice I got hit in the head?
Childhood stories become funny in adulthood, even if they were not pleasant when they happened. Such a story could have an unhappy ending
I survived and I don’t think I am brain damaged.
To be honest I don’t remember much about the movie, but I remember I really wanted to see it.
An amusing as that story was I am glad you didn’t need stitches. You could have really had a problem. Your mom was right not to laugh. lol
Well, I was just a kid and I got candy and in free. I had a headache but no clue how much it had bled. I think by the time it was all said and done I am still not fond of the number 9.
You made me smile with your story. 🙂
As a child all that mattered was I got lots of candy and we got in free.
sorry you were kiboshed by the number 9 – i never liked that number now I know why!
that is a funny story!
It’s not my favorite number either.
it is really an odd number (pun intended). It is a circle like zero, but wants to be a curved entity like seven.
pick a direction! 9 the number that doesn’t know what it wants to be when it grows up!
Your experience was sharing worthy. Sorry you got hurt though Getting candy does seem to help at times.
It was so funny that I didn’t really notice much.
I never saw that movie.
