I remember Sara coming to my spend the night birthday party in the 6th grade. We all danced and sang and then we got the bright idea to pick Sara up by her hands and feet and swing her up into the air because she was so small. Somehow we ended up dropping her and she broke her wrist and had to go to the hospital to get a cast. Just a few years ago I met her sister in law, who now goes to church with me, and told her that story. She ran home and called Sara to tell her about it. Her niece overheard them talking and later asked me, "Why did you break Aunt Sara's arm?"
