I had a drum that was stored on a huge wardrobe and was pretty unstable. One day, as i opened the wardrobe, the drum fell on my head. I laugh about it today because fortunately, the wound was not as severe as i though at first.

When I was a teen we had adopted a neighborhood stray Maine Coon named Barney. He was a big cat. Well one day I heard screaming from the back yard and ran to the window only to see my mom running from Barney. My mom NEVER ran and was very mellow 99% of the time. I had to laugh seeing this cat that barely came up to her calf chasing her around the yard while she "ran for her life". In his defense Barney liked to chase us kids around and we sort of trained him to do it by chasing him too. It became his play.

I asked her later why she was so scared and she just said "Well the cat was chasing me!" and I responded "What was he going to do? Nibble your ankles?"
