Default Re: "It's just how we rolled"

I have a Big Wheel story.

When I was an Atlanta Firefighter we went on a "person injured" call.

We get to the call and there is this little boy named Curtis(forever know in Firehouse lore as "Tough A$$ Little Curtis) who is about 8 years old.
Both of his feet have had the tops wore off and he was not even crying.
He was riding his Big Wheel down a big hill in his apartment complex parking lot and he put his bare feet down on the ground to stop. His feet were flipped upside down and the rear wheels rode up and basically used his feet as wheel chocks and slide for a pretty good distance.
It basically abraided the tops of his feet off.
We wrapped his feet and sent him to Grady in an ambulance.

Tough A$$ little Curtis.
