Black eyes

I just got my first black eye from my son which made me think of all the other times I've gotten black eyes:
1. On the playground, third grade. Massive girl (OK, I was small so maybe she was normal) swung at tether ball, hit right eye.
2. Near my apartment in Germany, also third grade. I was sitting on a railing, fell forward, kept legs locked around railing, swung down and hit middle rail. With my right eye.
3. Walking home from bus stop, 6th grade. Decided I'd had enough of my bully brother, punched him several times in the face. No reaction. Punched me back one time, connected with my right eye.
4. Laying on floor, playing with my sons. Older boy is trying to open his chocolate on a stick (umm, food on a stick), solid chocolate end slips out of his hand, hits my right eye. This may not go all black but I did get a welt and it hurt like hell.
