Personal Narrative: Desoto Caverns

Some things are bad when they happen once, but what about when they happen multiple times? I can definitely relate to this, because I have broken the same two teeth four times! Am I clumsy or is it just bad luck? Maybe riding a ride I was not tall enough for, playing chicken in the pool with younger kids, or not paying attention at volleyball practice and getting hit in the face was a bad idea, as they each led to the crunch of crunches and a pain that runs from my head to my toes. In 2007 my family and I went to Desoto Caverns. There was a ride there that you had to be a certain height for. I wanted to ride it, so bad! It was called bumper baths, you raced around this track in a little bathtub. I wasn’t tall enough to drive it, but the
guy working let me ride anyways. I was driving around the coarse, and then my older sister and my mom got stuck blocking the track, I could not slow down, so I ran into my mom and my face slammed into the steering wheel. I spit blood and pieces of my two front teeth in my hand and started crying. The guy working felt so guilty because he let me ride even though I was not tall enough. I was crying hysterically because I didn't completely understand what was wrong, along with my Mom and my sister. We left there and went to straight Children’s Hospital. Our family day was not going as planned. In 2009 I was at my friend emily’s birthday party, we were at the Centre City Pool. We were all just having a good time, and cutting up. Some of the younger girls that were there asked me to play chicken with them, and I was like yeah that will be fun, so we I got on a girl’s shoulders and we were trying to push each other off. As we were trying to push each other off, I fell towards the the girl I was fighting and hit my mouth on her head. Then, once again I was spitting my teeth into my hand. I broke the ame teeth in the exact same spot! This time it didn’t hurt, because they were already fake and very easy to break. I ran out of the pool and said “Momma i broke my teeth again!”, so we left the party and went to the dentist to get them fixed.
