When I was about eleven, me and a friend of mine had some spare time at the church building until we had to leave for a youth rally. In the past, we had been told not to play with the wheel chairs in the lobby but we never understood why. What harm could be done? At this point there were now adults around, at least not in the lobby where we were. So, we began to play in the wheel chairs and spin around and do all the fun things you can do in a wheel chair. Then my friend decided that he would push me in the wheel chair. He proceeded to push me towards the glass door. All was well because he stopped before he actually got to the door. He was just trying to scare me. Then he decided to do it again. This time he didn't stop soon enough and the wheel chair rammed into the door and cracked the glass in a spider web-like pattern. We were instantly petrified and were scolded for not listening to the people who had told us in the past not to play in the wheel chairs. We had to work to replace the glass and we never played in the wheel chairs again. We learned that sometimes adults know more about what they are talking about than you think.
