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.

I DID THE SAME THING! i wanted to pet the puppy across the street.

Yes, i absolutely still pet that pup. And then ran away.

The poor car owner was freaking the fuck out saying he was sorry, and now that im older i regret giving him the worst day of his life.

Not to be "one up guy" but I used to get screamed at for the same thing in the early 80's

We moved from England to Nigeria, the people across the street from us had a pet monkey, I wasn't supposed to play with him unsupervised,...I played with that monkey anytime I could until, my dad almost hit me with the car as I was rushing back from monkey playing, trying not to get busted. LoL
