My brother and I got permission from our mom to go to the pool for the last hour it was open, while she stayed in the room. We decided to do one of the slides that led into the lazy river. When we got to the lazy river we decided to play truth or dare the first few truths were fun and silly but then I picked dare. My brother dared me to do a backflip off the tube into the water (also known as a stupid idea) not remembering the water was two feet and six inches deep I gave it a try. As I leapt backwards my head hit the cement floor my eyes instantly started watering as I realized I had actually gotten really hurt. Now i’m in the hotel room with what I think is a concussion.
