The Tire Swing


When I was about 5 years old, my friends and I were swing around on a tire swing. We were in Kindergarten and we were not very smart. Not only were we swinging on the tire but we were also jumping off them while it was swinging in a circle. At first it was going fine and we were having lots of fun. After a while of jumping off, my teacher told us to stop. We did not listen, which was not the best choice. About a minute after my teacher told us to stop, my friend, Darby, was pushing the tire and I jumped off the tire while it was rotating at a fast speed and I flew straight into the pole. I had a huge cut from the side of my eye to my mouth and I had a black eye. I tired to hide it from my teacher by covering my cut and eye with a hat. But some kid ruined it by telling on me to the teacher. I did not get in trouble very bad though. The teacher mostly just tried to help me.

Good job hitting the pole. But I guess every has their stupid moments. I've had way too many to tell. You're a good writer. See ya.

That doesn't sound fun. I hope I never hit a pole like that. I think that you should try to get Darby back, or have you already tried. You should post a picture.

Haha River. Wow you sounded really smart back then. I mean you jumped of a revolving tire swing and hit a pole!! I mean what are the chances of you hitting a pole. I was swing on a tire swing just a few weeks ago and i almost threw up I hate swings with a passion now. haha. But when I tried to walk I feel over...laughing but also because I couldnt walk!

River, I think you have told me this story before. That sounds very painful. That's funny that you tried to cover it up with your hat. Wasn't it Jhamil that told on you? This was a well written entry.

Wow, what school did you go to? I get sick if I do that for to long. Something like that happened to me at school too. It was wet on the monkey bar and all of the kids were running towards the monkey bars and jumping onto the side bar, while we were still going forwards we would let go and go to the other side of the monkey bars. While doing this i slipped off the first side bar and landed on my back on a wooden post that was keeping the wood chips in, it knocked the wind out of me. It sucked.
