Accidentally Yours

Hello my dear ones...how have you been? I had a nice long weekend although Sydney was flooding like crazy...well not where we live but in the Hunter suburbs. It was a sad weekend for many families who lost loved ones due to accidents caused by extreme weather conditions..hard to even imagine how some weekend weather can take your life just like that. And today it's all bright and sunny!

Speaking of accidents, I'm well-known for being the creator of unusual accidents many a times in my life. My first little accident project was accomplished when mum got pregnant with me. Just yesterday she told me that I was an accident. Meaning my mum and dad didn't want to have another baby for atleast 5yrs after my sis was born - but I couldn't wait to see the world, I snuck into my mummy's womb little after my sis was born. My mum didn't know she was pregnant so she had eaten mixed-grill and basically vomitted the whole day, and she had even taken some stomach cleansing medicaton for it (no wonder my sanity was washed out - o momma!) . So my dad had taken her to the doc and apparently he smiled and said to her 'you're pregnant'. And they were utterly shocked as they didn't want another baby at the time. But they had to have me, cos if not, I'd have protested inside her tummy (yes with boards and all) demonstrating Baby Rights. My mum would have felt my 'you-better-have-me-or-I'll-tell-on-you-to-God' stare right from my little home inside her womb. So she had me and I'm accidentally your's now nenenenene.

Just months after I was born, I didn't allow mum to relax. I was seriously ill with Measles and other complications, I was admitted to hospital with doctors predicting 'Death' would be my next stop. But this tough lil bubbz didn't give up...cos you know accidents were only a fun thing for me...hehe they just didn't know. I somehow survived all the battles in hospital and came home to torture mum more. Mum told me that she was in tears 24/7 when I was ill but she didn't know I'd have already spoken to the man upstairs asking him to repair me in a hurry cos I wanted to grow up and blog some day. So I survived that battle too folks hehe.

Next stop was a seed in my nose...yes I accidentally stuffed my left nostril with a Tamarind seed and it went right inside. I was a 1yr old then. I was taken into the Emergency unit and the doctor there saved my life somehow. Well I knew he would have to cos I still had more time on Earth for more accidents cmon!

You think with that I stopped being little Miss.Accident? Not a chance. I was about 3yrs old and was playing in the park with my sis and our maid. Somehow it was time to go home and we were walking back. I still remember that day so clearly. A cyclist came speeding at me and ran over me (maybe he was in love with me?). My head was under his wheel and I could still remember how the wheel was churning super fast above my eyes even though the bicycle was now at a halt. I was again taken into the hospital and my whole head was all bandaged for months. I didn't lose my marbles, no not yet. I actually loved the bandages around my head and thought it was fun to be sick and look different. I was only a child you see.

Oh no...not again! This time around I was 5yrs old...we went to our cousins' house for a visit. They lived in a big house in the country, and in the middle of a huge garden full of huge trees and densed shrubs. So we were playing in that garden when I suddenly stepped on a big dried palm leaf. And what do you think was underneath that leaf? A huge yellow and brown snake that popped it's head out as soon as I stepped on it's body...yes Keshi was standing on it's body and not doing anything about it cos she just saw the snake's face and was quite surprised she saw a snake so close-up! I still can remember how I was standing on one leg staring in the snake's face and how it was staring right back at me without doing anything to me even though it was just inches away from sinking it's fangs into my flesh. About 5secs, and I was not there anymore LOL! I was in my aunt's kitchen, panting from the speedy running, and wondering what if it had bitten me. It could've and those snakes are highly venomous. I didn't tell anyone about it cos I was worried they'd not let me play again. After a while I went out to play again - don't forget I like adventures. I told this story to mum just yesterday and she was in complete horror.

If I were to write all the other accidents in my life, it would take a separate blog itself. I'll continue the rest (including how I j-walked in front of a speeding bus and managed to get to the other side in one piece, how a mean little dog chased me at a funeral, how I nearly drowned in a well, how I drank my granma's medicine and passed out, how my own pet dog once saw me as it's dinner etc etc) in another post on some other day. For now, I'm accidentally yours and dangerously alive hehe. Share with me some of your childhood brushes with danger, so I wouldn't feel so alone. (Today's music - one of my favs, is humorously yours too ;-))
