One of my most memorable moments is when I was ten years old my mother had bought muffins from Costco. My older brother was on the computer while his friend was over and his friend and I watched him play. He was talking to to his friend and when he said something, being ten and not very bright I asked him a question.
I asked him if he was sexist. He took the dinner plate he was eating muffins off of and by accident hit me in the face with it. At first I was calm, but in the span of two seconds I touched my face and saw blood.
I of course screamed and started crying. My brother in a panic called my mom at work while my sister quickly got towels. My mom told my brother to call an ambulance.
The paramedics arrived and took me to the hospital. It was my first time in an ambulance, I would have been excited, but I was just hit in the face with a plate. I had calmed down and wasn't crying anymore. One of the paramedics told me that girls like guys with scars.
At the hospital they numbed my face and removed plate shards from my face near my right eye, and got three stitches.
I think it was an accident because I know my brother would never hurt someone on purpose like that. But I don't ask him questions anymore.
