I was out to recess in elementary school. Of course, our small town school had this metal wire fence separating the school playground area with the neighbor's yard. It was basically wood fence posts with straight smooth wire running thru all the posts. It was dead of winter and I was prob in 2nd or 3rd grade or something. Don't know if was a bet, buddies egged me on or just did it, but I stuck the top of my mid tongue on the fence wire. It went across the entire width of my tongue.
So, I'm literally stuck on the fence and every little movement just pulls and hurts so I don't move too much. Frozen to that wire. Well, then the bell to go in rings and I see out of the corner of my eye all the kids running to the school. I'm feeling alone like I'm the only one out there. I could only wait so long as I was afraid I was going to be late for class. I counted 3....2.....1.......................and rip! I still can bring that pain up when thinking about it. I had a red line going across the top of my tongue. It bled and I'm sure lunch wasn't that enjoyable that day.
