Vader Punching Bag
The day before Christmas 1978, I slipped and fell at daycare. The summer before I'd managed to break my arm twice in a row, and I was under strict instructions to please, please not land on my arm again under any circumstances. So when I fell, I landed on my face instead.
I got this punching bag on Christmas Eve, and my Grandfather spent the evening playing with me and gently pushing it so it bopped me when it came back up after I hit it. The next morning, when I woke up with two black eyes, he was horrified that he'd maimed me with an inflatable punching bag until my Mom let him off the hook.
