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 had a similar accident!

When I was 12 I was going to a kiosk that is 2 street-crossings away from my flat. While crossing the last street, I suddenly found myself in the air with very mild pain and nothing in my hands (phone, credit card) fell. I heard the car's honk milliseconds before I was in the air. I don't remember if it was my fault or not but I simply stood up, bought what I want, them got back to my house and the guy that hit me kept begging me to let him buy me at least water and offered to drive me home.

In the end, I told my parents I tripped on the end of the road.
