April Fool's Day is supposed to be a day to play jokes on others in hopes of getting a good laugh and making one feel like a fool. However, the April Fool’s Day of 2016 was quite different for my mom and me.
That day my friend Jimmy and I were playing a game. I had dropped down from a bar(横木 )many times in the past without ever having a problem, but that day the simple act of dropping to the ground became a nightmare(噩梦). I broke my arm.

saw me, she broke down in tears because she felt so bad-she simply believed that was just a big trick.
