A surprising accident

                

One night, we were playing a game with Papa and Brooke. The point of the game was to sneak           past the person that was ‘it’ in the pitch black house and make it to a base. The person that wants to get the other people can move obstacles in front of them to block them. If they hit the obstacles it       will make noise and he can get them. If you manage to sneak past him and get to the base, you           win. So as I was saying, we were playing this at night and were having a great time. Isaiah and           Elliana were ‘it’ and we knew that it would be hard because there are two of them. So we                   came up with a plan that Papa would make a distraction and we would make it to the base. We       snuck up as Papa yelled and started running around. The only bad thing was that we didn’t know that a stool that was one of the obstacles was in his way. He slammed right into it (He was on his knees) and fell down. We stopped the game and he got up and said, “Well, that was fun. I’m not hurt that bad.” He removed his hand from his forhead and it started dripping blood. He ran right into his room and asked mama if she knew anybody about stiches. We were so scared. We thought and whispered to each other, “Oh no. He’s going to have to get stiches.” We were freaked out! We knew that stiches on his forehead were going to be hard. We prayed and went to bed as our friends drove him to the hospital. We woke in the morning and there was Papa, smiling and greeting us cheerfully! On his head were strips to hold the wound together. We were happy but sad at the same time. We knew that he will have a scar. Thank God that he protected Papa from getting hit in the eye or the cheek. I am glad he didn’t get stiches. Praise God!
