I nearly died from electrocution when I was very young. Luckily my brother noticed that I was being shocked, he pulled me and he got a little bit of shock too while doing that, somehow we managed to detach ourselves from the leak and survived.

And if you were really lucky you were able to hide or conceal all the evidence of what you were doing to get into that state without your parents finding out. Brothers tell no tales.
I was very young at that time, it wasn't like I intentionally got myself in trouble.
My parents were very understanding. There was no need to hide anything.
got in trouble once for swearing in school. the teacher made me tell my parents i'd have detention the next day. i didn't tell my parents, didn't know how i'd get myself out of this pickle, woke up the next day to a few inches of snow on the ground (in march, in north carolina) and school was cancelled. teacher never brought it up, and apart from remembering it vividly, never suffered any consequences.
oh, and another time when i had just gotten my license and someone almost clipped into my front bumper on the interstate so i jerked the wheel and ended up doing almost a 540 at 70mph in 3 lanes of traffic. i jerked the wheel left like a dumbass to avoid getting hit, started to spin, jerked the wheel back to the right (continuing the dumbass trend), did a rotation and a quarter. didn't hit anything and landed facing the correct direction on the shoulder. what really surprised me was how little i actually had to jerk the wheel to make it lose traction.
I feel like I just have an "everything will work out" general luck, but I've definitely lost more games of chance than I've won.
Yes.
Im happy for you<3
Thanks! Good chance I'd be unalive if it didn't happen when it did.
I’m lucky all the time. Praise Tymora!
