Yep, Iāve had a yoyo in hand since I was five years old. I missed recess, my milk break, and I was isolated to the coat closet. 
But at least my classmates thought I was cool!

Just remembered a few yoyo mishaps from childhood. First one was just after we got yoyos to be permitted at school during recess. We were given a designated āyoyo zoneā so we donāt accidently clobber anyone else when practicing. Another fellow yoyoer was working on forward pass when he accidentally struck my head. It hurt, opted to get ice but I was afraid to say what happened when I went to the office so I ābent the truthā and just told them that I accidentally bonked my head (on what, they didnāt need to know).
One time during the summer, a few friends (will call him Friend A) and I were hanging out and they had their yoyo with them. One of my other friends (We will call him Friend B) and I were telling him about the āRocket in the Pocketā trick where you launch the yoyo skyward and catch it in your pocket. Friend B demonstrated it on Friend Aās yoyo (we were initially out for a bike ride so we didnāt think of bringing ours) as he felt confident he could catch it in his pants pocket. It was a practically new Yomega Fireball. Yoyo gets launched up about the height of a telephone pole and as you guessed, he misses the catchā¦pants pockets are just way too small unless youāre catching it in the pocket of some JNCOās or cargo shorts/pants. Thankfully the yoyo survived with just a small scuff that was bound to happen from walking the dog. Friend A was fortunately not upset at it but was kind of in awe that it didnāt break and how close it was to being caught.
Last one was when my brother (who was 4 at the time) had just gotten a knockoff auto return throw from the flea market. I had just taught him how to do Around the World. That night, he calls all of us outside as he knew that trick was to be done outdoors as to not hit anything. Excited, he does it and just as the yoyo hits the 6:00 position, it kissed the ground and shattered. All that was left was a string and transaxle flinging around. My brother stood there in shock of what had just happened. We eventually bought him the real thing later that week.
