Age 5: A time when lollipops fixed things
We had just started kindergarten a few weeks ago. Mitsukuni and I were outside playing tag. I have a big backyard so it was more fun. It was a cold day; I remember we still needed jackets. We've been running around for a while.
Mitsukuni was 'it' so I was running as fast as I could. We have spaces for training, cherry blossom trees, a small pond, and flowers in our yard so it was easy to trip. One minute I was running the next I tripped over a rock. I smacked my face hard on the ground. I wiped the dirt off of my face. That's when I rubbed the cuts on my face with my arm. I saw the blood on my wrist.
It freaked me out. I couldn't see where I was bleeding, but I could feel the blood dripping from my forehead. I panicked so I did what any other child would do, cry (What? It really hurt). Not long after Mitsukuni found me. By the look on his face he was scared. But he didn't run away to go get help. He hugged me instead then kissed my cheek. I'm not sure why but that made me feel safe.
"I'll be back I'm gonna get your mom." Mitsukuni told me then he ran off. Thankfully we weren't to far from the house. I just sat there waiting and I stopped crying.
My mother came, picked me up and carried me back to the house. She cleaned the blood off. Thankfully I didn't need stitches. After I got my bandages Mitsukuni was waiting for me with two lollipops. One was for him and one was for me. Lollipops do make things better.
Sorry this took so long to post. My laptop was broken. Everything is fine now and I'll try to post more. I'd like to thank hunnylover for the idea and there will be more to come.
