I was four or five years old. My mom was in the upstairs bathroom helping my younger sister how to use the toilet. We had a plastic Winnie the Pooh toddler training seat on the downstairs bathroom toilet, but my mom needed it quickly because I guess my sis couldn't hold it in time. My mom yelled from upstairs, "Robyn! Bring me the training seat! Erin needs it now! Hurry!"
Being four years old at the time, this was a big deal to prove I could help out Mom during an urgent situation. She told me to hurry and I hurried alright. I grabbed the hard plastic seat off the toilet downstairs and started running up the stairs. It was on the third stair that I tripped and fell. I jabbed the edge of the seat on my face, next to my eye. The skin was cut and there was a lot of blood. I don't remember crying, but I remember my mom coming downstairs to see what had happened. When she saw the blood, she rushed me to emergency where they placed a really strange layered bandaid over the cut. Twenty years later, I still have that scar. A scar left by a plastic toilet seat.
