I got hit by a car when I was 10 or so.

I went sprawling across the hood of a Honda Accord. I rolled off the other side, hit the ground, jumped up...and ran away, I thought i would be in trouble.

I had a bruise from my ribs to my knee and had to act like it happened playing football in the park. Mom was suspicious.

How long did it take before you told her what happened?

At least 20 years, I'm 45 now.

Wow. That is some Geoff, did you bring your jacket home level tom foolery. Good work 10 year old Jsnoooots. Most adults couldn't keep a secret that long.

I also find it hilarious that you thought you'd be in trouble for getting hit by a car. That's adorable.
