One thing you should never do in life is ride Heeleys in Wal-Mart. Last time I did that I ended up breaking my ankle. For seven months I was on crutches and had a big black boot on up to my knee. It was like that through Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years Eve, Valentines Day, Saint Patrick’s Day, Easter, and then the rest of May.
I was in 4thgrade and it was the weekend before Thanksgiving. I was ready to finally get a pair of Heeleys. My mom and I went to the mall and I found a pair that I liked, we bought them and I was soon riding around the store. After that we went to Wal-Mart, my mom went off to get the things we needed while I rode up and down the aisles. On my way to find her and go home my attention went on something else and little did I see the big box of Christmas decorations in the middle of the aisle. I tried to avoid it, but it was too late I slipped and rolled my ankle on the box. The pain in my left ankle was soaring up through out my leg. My mom took me home and we iced my ankle.
The next day my parents took me to the Emergency Room. After a long wait the nurse took me in to get a few X-rays, and then after another long wait we got the news. I had broken my ankle. It probably wouldn’t have been that bad if I hadn’t broken it near my growth plate. It ended up that my growth plate had moved a millimeter out of place and it doesn’t seem like a big deal, but it was. I ended up missing most of the basketball season and many fun activities, but it taught me to be more careful and think about what I’m about to do
That’s why you should never ride Heeleys in Wal-Mart. I had to learn the hard way.
