going from state of subconsciousness to full consciousness

It may be that in some places the shots were given out in school...but for whatever reason, we were taken to our family doctor for our polio shots...

Being that I grew up, living in a two story house, with my aunt and uncle and my two cousins living on the first floor, and my family lived on the second floor, it was like I grew up with three brothers, not just my biological brother....

Whenever any of us kids got sick, the others always wanted to go along for moral support, and to get the treats we always got at the docs office(probably a sucker), and the treats our parents got us for behaving at the docs office...

One time, when our parents were remodeling, they had a new sink down in the basement...one of my cousins picked up the end of that sink, and promptly dropped it, smack dab on his foot, and flattened that foot, like a pancake...

I think the kid was in shock, tho, as he did not cry, and said it did not hurt...

I remember all of us kids piled into the car and off we went to the docs office, my cousin hanging that foot out of the window...we other kids got a kick out of the whole incident...my cousin had a flat foot...we laughed all the way to the docs office, we just thought the whole thing was so funny....guess we did not realize how upset our parents were...

They X-Rayed the foot, and I guess he did break a few bones in his toes, and some in his foot, but they did nothing more than splint the whole thing, and in due time it healed...

But my cousin was a star of the neighborhood, showing off his 'flat foot'

Kids...they are a riot...
