So, uh, what were you doing?

I wish I had a really cool story.  But I was only 4 maybe 5 at the time.  I was jumping off the furniture.  I don’t think I was ever told not to....but I’m pretty sure I would have gotten in trouble had they known about it before I broke my arm.  Mom was cooking and dad must’ve been on the way home from work.  I saw an opening for adventure  and I took it.
