Do you have any crazy scars?

1 Answer

Answer :

I have a stupid scar on my belly. I was a kid, playing with pinking shears, For some reason, I thought it was cool to cut up the elastic of my underwear while I was wearing them. I accidentally cut the skin on my belly with the scissors. It bled for a few days and I was terrified I’d need stitches. I didn’t want to have to explain to my parents or the doctor how I cut myself. —EDIT: I was six when this happened. I didn’t want anyone to think this happened when I was 19 or something.
