story time!

zach, or elder smith i should say, called this morning, not to wish mom a belated birthday because thats not allowed, but to tell her he broke his hand...yeahh smooth guy. apparently he was playing football with some other missionaries or the youth or something and he fell. he broke the bone boxers brake all the time. its by your pinky. this isnt the first time however...which explains a little bit[his bone was weak already]. here's a first hand[no pun intended] account of the first time he broke his hand:
back in the day when i was a turd....zach and i didnt get along. actually, i didnt get along with anyone, but anyways. i was in 5th grade and zach was a sophomore...maybe he was a junior. all i know is that we lived in the other house by columbia elementary. anyways, he was playing basketball out front and i was bugging him about something and i musta said something really annoying and probably critical that made him burst. i could tell so i jumped on my bike to make a get away. he threw his basketball at my bicycle and then when i came back around, he ran after me and either tried to punch me and missed or tried to punch my bike tire and missed. either way, he missed and hit the metal part of my bike and broke that same bone above his pinky. he didnt know it at first but it swelled and stuff. it was a mess. our parents weren't home and when they got home, we had to explain and a while later, zach finally went in to see if it was broken and sure enough, it was. the story must have sounded fake to the doc cuz he took zach aside and asked him a series of questions. he didnt outright ask if he was abused, but basically, he was asking zach if he was abused. when they were convinced, they fixed it and gave him a cast. this of course was during basketball season annnnd he couldnt play. he did get a pretty good at shooting with his left hand though! i'm awful glad something good came out of that awful situation! haha sooo there you go. a fun fact/story of the day!
