Scarred For Life

Today's prompt: http://oneminutewriter.blogspot.com/2008/12/todays-writing-prompt-scar-story.html

When I was 10, maybe 11, I went to the hardware store with my dad to get some wood for the patio cover that would be our project for the summer. We both reached up to grab some long 2x4's off of a high rack. Unknowingly, we each grabbed the end of a different board. The end of his board came down and embedded itself in my chest, leaving what looks like a wad of chewed bubblegum on my sternum. It has thinned out some over the years, but I remain scarred for life.
