Memorable Childhood Accident

This accident happened when I was in grade 6. While I was brushing my teeth, suddenly the sink fell into my foot.  I screamed really loud. Then my mom, dad, and my sister ran upstairs to check. They were really shocked to see what happened. My sister helped me to get the shards of the sink in my feet. I was crying so loud because it hurt so bad. Then my sister put a bandage on the cut. Later that afternoon my feet suddenly got swollen. My sister panicked and immediately took off the bandage. My feet turned really big like a giant foot. I didn’t go to see a doctor because my sister is a doctor and she took care of me really well. When I was sleeping she asked me to put my leg on a pillow to allow the blood to circulate, and to reduce the swelling . A few days later my feet were getting better, they were still swollen and hurt but I could still walk properly with them. Then one day I went to a mall, I was wearing my dad’s sandals because none of my shoes or sandals fit in my swollen feet. Then a random granny stared at me and looked at my feet. I felt so shy because I was wearing a man’s sandals and the sandals were too big for me.
