I was in a bit of a dazee, thinking about Cassie and Jason, and then all of a sudden a conker flew out of a tree and hit me on the back of my head. PAIN! And then of course when i told someone in my class it was repeated to the ENTIRE class and everyone had a great laugh at my expense. I couldn't believe it!! xx

amynicole21 replied: What the heck is a conker??? I have visions of a big dodo bird flapping around and smacking into your noggin

I've had similar injuries involving birds... it sure is embarassing!!

Josie83 replied: Okay, a conker is NOT a bird! Hahaha! That is hilarious! I think the proper name of it is a horse chestnut, its the hard brown thing that comes off a chestnut tree. A bird! Haha! Here is a picture of one . . . xx

Add me to the list that thought the same thing!


Sorry about the hit on the head, but I think the bird would have been worse.

MomToJade&Jordan replied: I didn't have any visions of a bird, but I did get this large round object in my head. I have been hit in the head by our large tree out front in the courtyard. That one likes to get you with Monkey pods. They are these longish things that carry seeds. Those things hurt.

Did anyone see this happen to you? I once fell climbing up a small hill while I was going to class in college. There were all sorts of people around. I got up brushed myself off and walked away hoping that my graceless little fall was missed.

Maddie&EthansMom replied: Yep, I thought it was a bird, too. I'm glad it didn't knock you out! I bet that really hurt!

Kirstenmumof3 replied: I'm sorry I had to laugh at your post! I can just picture your class laughing! I hope your head feels better!

Zoe'sMommaCamie replied: aww poor jo

Josie83 replied:
I'm laughing at how much I confused you all! That flipping thing hurt, I will never live it down! Yeah, some people saw, and they thought it was hilarious . . . but then I was laughing as well! When I told Jason i swear I practically had to scrape him off the floor, he was laughing so hard. Of course if it had happened to him it would have required medical attention! xx

kimberley replied: oh no! glad you are okay.
