It all started before I was even in Elementary school. Someone had given me a big expensive digital watch for a present. Of course I was just a little boy so the watch naturally was a little loose.
One day, I was in the bathroom, and the watch actually slips off my hand and splashes into the toilet. I have no idea what I was thinking as I flushed it down the toilet. Why didn't I grab it? It was RIGHT THERE (and water proof, no doubt). I wonder where it is now...
Several years without a wrist-watch go by....
Then while in elementary school (maybe 2nd or 3rd grade) I had gotten an "Indiglo" Digital watch for my birthday. I was quite proud of it. And I was also proud of the fact that it was lasting longer than my previous watch (and i liked how it glowed).
Then one day, I believe I accidentally got water on it, and then after that it got broken from getting hit hard on the ground or something like that. Goodbye watch number two.
Several more years go by....
7th grade, I asked for another watch for my birthday, thinking that surely I'm mature enough now to make sure it doesn't get broken somehow. Well I wasn't wrong about being mature enough, it only lasted about 2 weeks though. This time, the velcro strap that tightened and loosened it broke, and then the other side did too, leaving me with just the circular time piece, on which the hands had broken and swung free.
I gave up.
To this day, I use my cell phone to tell the time.
