    Do you have any wild childhood stories or injuries?!

      one crazy near death experience, not myself but happened with my youngest sister. My youngest sister Michelle, at age of like 3months old (1989) she came down with Meningitis and wound up in the hospital for a good length of time. My dad actually said that when she was in the hospital there were a couple of other young children/babies with meningitis who didn't make it and died, and my youngest sister actually pulled through and survived.

      Myself I haven't had too many serious injuries. The day before fifth grade I had to get stitches in my right foot from slicing my foot on a rock. I got a bloody nose one summer from a bar that hung down from the swing-set we had. During the end recess one time (2nd grade-ish) the bell rang, I go running to the door and did not see a stray ball come in front of me from my left side, so I tripped and main was my knee tore up/scrapped up. I go up to nurse's office limping, crying, my hand holding my knee as blood running down my leg.

      This Halloween I would like to request a pod where their dad puts on an Andy costume and everyone impersonates each other; Joey could be Matt, Matt could be dad, and Andy could play Joey... I’m already laughing 🤣🤣

      At five years old I thought it was a good idea to throw rocks up in the air. Well, one rock landed in the middle of my head. It split my head open and (of course) caused a skull fracture. I refused to let the ER doctor stitch my head up until my mom went home and got the movie E.T. Once the ER staff put the movie on, I finally allowed them to fix me up.
      When I was one, I broke four of my brothers fingers.... and knocked out his front teeth with a coffee mug...
      At 16, I died... but obviously they brought me back.

    Wow! This is some of the most wholesome content I've ever seen on the internet!!!! (Especially the vocal jam session to close it out!) It felt like a love letter to you boy's father; and was just "cool" to witness.
