TFBT: Friday’s ‘Tell-Tale Scars’ Cafe

(Maya, another mock up for the Kosmos Society Cafe)

     “First observe this scar,” answered resourceful Odysseus, “which I got from a boar’s tusk when I was hunting on Mount Parnassus. You and my mother had sent me to Autolykos, my mother’s father,” Odyssey 24. [330-304] 

I think we all have theses childhood stories, like Odysseus’ tell-tale scar.  I recall vaguely a fall off a wall when little. 

 I heard a great story today about a friend and her little brother.  They were playing bean bag toss.  She explained that as little kids she and her brother were on the top bunk tossing bean bags into the toy box they'd cleaned out for the contest.  Her brother leaned out a little too far when aiming and ended up falling into the toy box.  Still had the bean bag in his hand so she gave him the point.  But the toy box was destroyed so game was over.  

How about your youthful misadventures?  What can you tell us about those faded scars on your body?
