Scars

My earliest memory is when I fell down the steps at my house. I don't remember much but I remember running downstairs with two of my sisters and my mom. I do not remember why we went down but we were standing on the wooden steps heading into my basement. I was standing behind my sister Maddy and I remember yelling at her to move. She refused to move down the steps any farther. I was looking down at my socks which i remember were white with a yellow ring around the toe. I then fell down and off the side of the steps. I slammed my head onto the concrete floor and my mother said she remembers seeing my skull under all the blood gushing out of my head. I do not remember much of what happened after that but my family raced me to the hospital. I remember opening up my eyes and seeing white. I believe they put something over my face to cover up my new wound. I remember hearing loud noises and voices. I got stitches and now have a scar on my head from my earliest memory.
