I was just sitting here and happened to look down at a scar I have on the side of my wrist. I thought back to how I got the scar, which is really dumb but I even remember the day I got it. I was in fifth grade and having to take this etiquette course called Perfectly Polished; that worked out really well because I'm world's best mannered young lady, right? Sike. Anyway, we basically learned things like how to set a table correctly and we learned different dances like the electric slide and the fox trot. Then we had to perform all the dances we learned at some formal thing in front of all our parents. Since I had done such a great job, and it was hot as hell in the summer, my mom bought me [and my brother] a water gun. I was trying to open it with a knife and accidentally stabbed myself in the side of my wrist. Uninteresting story, I know, but after remembering the story behind that scar, I started to look around for other scars and reminisce on how, when and where they happened. Some people hate scars; they think they're ugly. If I had a face full of scars, I'm sure I would too. However, I personally think scars are beautiful. They tell a story about where a person has been; it really tells a lot.




So, pick a scar & tell me the story behind it in a comment.
