Maybe it was brain damage ;)

My sister and I were just chatting about odd things that have happened to us, and discovered something else we both have in common.
We probably ended up with brain damage.
Don't worry--- we did it to our own selves.
Maybe we have some of our problems due to self-induced brain damage.
We both licked batteries in science class after being told to never, ever do that.
Then my sister got a huge electric shock on a refridgerator in our basement.

when we were building the house
. it was rainy one night and we didn't have the walls finished. so the rain came in. and the next day i stood in a puddle to unplug a lamp.

I remember it was a sunday morning because gramma and grampa were there for breakfast.
I stood in a little puddle of water that was around the light that i could reach around, and unpluggd it.
and OW!! the electricity went in through my right hand at my pinkie.
it burned down my arm, all through my body to my toes, around my body, through my heart, and back out my pinkie
it left 2 black dots on the side of my finger that stayed there for ages.
I was shaking SOOOO freaking hard and my heart was beating funny.
i went and sat down
i couldn't think for a minute
i didn't tell anyone because i was afraid i'd get in trouble.
i was so sure that i was going to die of a heart attack.
i didn't dare tell my parents. I knew that instead of being worried about what happened to me, all they'd do was make fun of me for being so stupid to stand in a puddle and unplug a lamp, and get mad at me.
