There they were, about 14 high school teenagers, sitting on the gym floor. They were learning a new game called "Ladders" in which everyone sits in 2 lines, each paired up with another (think Virginia Reel) with their legs out in front of them touching the feet of the person facing them, creating a "step" to a ladder. (hence the name! :P) So, the way the game went was the team on the far end (either end works, we happened to do the end on the right side, which was me and Theresa Francis, oh the irony, Theresa and Theresa), jumps up and steps over everybody's legs, turns around, runs back around to her original spot (again, think Virginia Reel) and sits down. As soon as that person (say, Tt) sits down, the person sitting next to her (Catherine) jumps up and does the same, going over my legs at the end and then sitting down. Then whoever's sitting next to Catherine jumps up and does the same thing. Soooo I decided to take my shoes off ('cause it's easier to run in socks rather than flats, right? Of course right!). Worst. Idea. Ever. because I had on super super super comfy socks but that means that they were SUPER slippery....
On your Mark.........
Get set....
GO!
Theresa and Tt jumped up and started hopping over legs, almost perfectly tied, Tt was winning just a tad and as she turned around to run back..........WHOOP out flew her legs from under her and she fell kerPLOP on the floor. But did Theresa pause the game? Ohhh no. So up Tt got and kept running. They played about 4/5 more games like that, and then the night was done. Suddenly Tt noticed something hurting with her left toe. Huh, that was odd. So she went home, hoping it wasn't anything bad (because earlier in the summer she had been running from 3rd to Home and rolled over her left toe, hurting it, but hopefully not permanently damaging it). That night in bed it started feeling worse, but she fell asleep anyway. Now she can't walk without limping.
This has been the Tale of Tt's Toe.

Bwahahaha! Amazing. Love it. Don't lose your toe though. Also, I've played ladders many a time in my life. Great game.
