The Reason I'm Scared of Payless!!!

     One day I went to Payless with my family. I was really excited to try on really cute shoes and show them off to all of the people in the store. Once we were at Payless and I started going through shoes I found the cutest little white and pink tennis shoes in my size. I was only five years old at the time and I didn't know how to tie my shoes that well, but I was determined to try on these pink and white tennis shoes! I called to my mom and dad but they said just a minute because they were helping my older brother get a pair of shoes. I waited and waited but I couldn't stand it any longer! I put both the shoes on and didn't even bother to tie the laces. I walked like a model and pranced around in my shoes like there was no tomorrow! Not really paying attention I went to go show my mom and dad how I found the best shoes in the world.
     When I got right by my mom and dad to show them, I started running towards them and of course I tripped right on the laces and hit my head SMACK into the metal bench where my brother was sitting! At first I got right up and started to cry and between my sobs I kept telling my brother it was all his fault!(: Then, I started feeling the pain more and started crying even harder! After that my mom and dad told me to just sit down on the floor. The lady who was working there handed my mom and dad paper towels to help with all the blood that was coming out of my head. After trying that for about three minutes my parents decided I needed to go to the emergency room.
     My whole family quickly got in the car and we drove to the emergency room. When we got there we had to wait a minute (it felt like forever). When I finally was able to go and see the doctors there were six all standing over me as I laid there petrified. First, they put alcohol on my forehead to make sure the cut was clean. It burned so bad and I screamed so much! I had to hold my mom's hand the whole time. And after that they told me they weren't going to stitch it they were going to glue it together! I had never heard of that so that made me even more scared! When I was done I felt okay but just a little dizzy and my head hurt a lot (imagine that).
      Now because of that moment when I cut my head open and it was glued together, I always check and make sure the super super super glue isn't coming undone.(: Also, whenever I go to Payless I always get a little nervous and remember my klutzy incident, but I make sure to tie my laces twice.(: And that's why I'm scared of Payless.
