                And the kitten was called the "Barrier"
Why do troubles happen to me very often? To whom and when did I do wrong? The question, of course, is rhetorical. No one can ever give me clear answers to these questions. Apparently, this is my fate.
I remember the years in my youth. The oldest child has grown enough to please him and ride on the cableway. My husband and son came to the park, where you can enjoy such skating. The booths drove up quickly, my men jumped in and settled in one of them comfortably. And I jumped into the next. Go! Beauty! The view from above is wonderful; it was autumn, all the colors of the palette floated below! I was going, going, and then I thought about how I would jump out of the booth on the go, realizing that it would not be easy for me, a slow woman. And what do you think? And so it happened. I was unable to jump on the go. The cabin went with me in the opposite direction, at the turn I could not resist and fell, thank God, to the floor. The attendants began to panic, the suspension was stopped. And I was dragged to the site with back pain and terribly upset. That was my first flight to the earth, which still attracts me...
Since then, I have fallen more than once, paying with a broken leg or a broken arm. And then I managed to fall from the height of my rather big height and with a decent body weight in the parking lot, while breaking the connection of the shoulder with the arm! Oh! Oh! As if someone were saying: "Behold, the punishment for your sins is on you!"
And everything happens because I’m an inattentive person, I don’t look at my feet and I don’t see obstacles in my way! So I fell in the parking lot near the store, not noticing the parking barriers under my feet, for which I caught my foot.



Why didn’t I notice the obstacles? Because the sun that day shone very brightly and blinded my eyes. I didn’t see anything at all these minutes...
     The sun shines right in the eye...
And bang on the cemented earth face down, hitting my front teeth and knocking out one of them! What horror, fear, and pain have gripped me? Another trouble has come, open the gate! My carelessness cost me dearly.
In our city, trains run through many streets. Why? Because before it was the outskirts of a small town, but now they are in the center of city. Therefore, the flow of cars must stop and wait for the movement of cars. At the same time, the barrier drops, and at first the warning in the form of red bulbs is triggered or a beep is issued. Jin-jin!

 Schlagbaum, from schlagen, hitting, and Baum, a tree. Crossbar on outposts.

Sometimes a pedestrian crossing is blocked by a barrier. People must wait until the train passes, and then continue on their way.
And again the sun intervenes in my destiny! Blinding, my God, it’s dark in my eyes ... And the damned barrier began to quickly fall! Well, I did not see him, was blinded by the rays! And then bang, clap, slap on my unhappy head! Tears poured from my eyes, the pain stunned, I swayed. But I was able to stay on my feet, barely  stepped aside!  “Tra-ta-ta” I wanted to tell , or at least whisper. My strength was not to speak out. After waiting a couple of days at home, I realized that I needed to urgently see a doctor, take an X-ray, and determine what kind of injury I received this time. The doctor said that nothing bad happened, think, bruise, it will pass soon.                I decided that I need to know the second opinion of a specialist about my problem. And what do you think the second doctor said?                An X-ray was made not of the head, but of the neck, however, the head is a little visible there! Father's lights, how well educated our doctors are!
And I toil with my headache!
I enjoy reading jokes. Distracted from my experiences.
Two men rush in the car, afraid to be late for the New Year's Eve.
Drive up to the railway crossing.
“You look to the right,” the driver says, “and I will look to the left so as not to get under the train.”
After a second, there was a roar, and when the friends got out from under the debris
the car, the driver said:
“We should have looked ahead, and then we would have noticed that the barrier is closed!”
You probably want to ask me a question: "What does the kitten have to do with it?"
The fact is that even small children know what a barrier is. Here read this poem.
Mom brought in a basket
Black and white kitten.
He purred so loudly
Like a big and adult straight.   
 Immediately a dispute arose in the family:
How to call such a miracle.
 Fought the whole evening
The guys could not decide.
And they called the Barrier,
Because he is striped.
 
Giving that name is cool!
It’s never better.
Only Vaskoy for some reason
All kitten called.

People, be careful and watchful! Especially when crossing roads and in front of the barrier!
