"Brother, Bunk Beds and Falling Down" by Josh Sunday

At that exact moment, it happened.

At that moment, late at night, I heard it

and I saw with horrified eyes from the bottom bunk.

My five year old brother just fell face first

off the top bunk off the bunk bed.

If my brother hadn't been jumping around

and leaning over the edge of the bunk bed

it wouldn't have happened.

While I was wondering what happened, dumbfounded,

I heard my brother cry screaming, and bawling his eyes out.

Me and my mom figured out that only my brother’s nose

was  bleeding and he went to the bathroom after he stopped crying

to try and stop the bleeding so he could go back to bed.

Needless to say, everyone in the house was pretty shook after that,

and

the next morning, we had to clean all the blood off the carpet

with Oxiclean Stain Remover.

And now,

he doesn't mess around on the top bunk.
