Awww — I Was a Hero(ine) Once.

August 11, 2008

My sister had a flashback today. Fortunately, I saved her. I rock (well, I did)

My deep, dark secret at that time, when I was all of 12 years old: I had NOT had any 1st Aid training.

My great heimlich manuever probably came from watching TV. Probably Murder, She Wrote. And, probably, it wasn’t even a real, honest-to-goodness heimlich. I probably (anyone tired of repetition yet?) just punched her in the stomach.

Television saves lives.
