Nosebleed

Blood.

It was the first time I ever saw so much blood. It covered my fingers completely.

It happened so fast. was about three. I was in kindergarten we were playing wick jumbo lego blocks. the teacher gave us a determined amount, when suddenly the boy in front of me took one of mine. Needless to say I was angry and tried to claim what was mine.

But it wouldn’t be that easy, the kid in front of me took it and then the battle for the block started, we both started pulling it and saying it was ours. Suddenly, without notice the kid says “all right, just keep it” and kinda throws it to me. I didn’t have time to process and ended up hitting myself.

It hurted so much, then came the blood. I was scared, I was young but I knew pretty well that I wasn’t supposed to be bleeding.

I don’t recall what happened next, I guess the teacher took me to the infirmary. When my mom came to pick me up I had my nose clogged with cotton and I could see she tried to hold her laugh when I told her what had happened.
