People are irrational during a break down. I put it in another comment but at school as a kid I put a hole in my kneed bad. I was more concerned with how pissed my mom was going to be I tore my new pants than the white and yellow coming out. I freaked out and thats where my mind went in the moment.

She was going through it before the accident though. It said she was speeding and erratic, hit a car, then sped off.

To the second part. Don't kink shame. Lol

Yeah. Idk how it happened. I realize there isn't much going on there, just thin skin then inside bits. But I didn't have a fall, wasn't running. We were playing tag or something, rand around the bike rack away from my friend. Went to turn and slipped a bit, went knee down. This was the 90s The ground was asphalt in the school yard. But I was standing, turned and slipped or tripped on the edge of the bike rack. Broke my fall with a knee. Stung and hurt but knee+asphalt does that. I went to run again and my other friend pointed and said I was bleeding. Saw blood coming down my white socks. Noticed the hole in my knee with red on it. Pull the pant leg up and blood was running down my leg. We thought maybe there was glass so I looked around but nothing. Just the ground. I was sent to the nurses office and when she rolled my pant leg up a kid in there pointed and said "HOLY CRAP IS THAT A BONE?! CAN I TOUCH IT?!

I looked down and saw white and clumps of yellow. The principal came in to talk to me and someone else from admin. I didn't know why they cared, thought maybe I was in trouble for getting hurt that bad or something. We weren't allowed to play by the bike racks. Turns out they were concerned I was more worried about my moms reaction to the pants than the hole. In all fairness we were poor and I knew she saved through the summer to cover back to school stuff.

My parents caught me when I had road rash all over my belly, hip, and knee because my shirt shifted and they caught sight of the discoloration, but not enough to determine "oh, there's no skin there at all". They thought it was a hickey. Cue me pulling up my shirt to show I ain't got no skin!

I tried to conceal it and act normal because I'd been riding on top of someone's car and they slammed the breaks on thinking I'd gracefully leap off the top like a gazelle and not belly flop like a hippo.

Those clumps of yellow are the little fat globules under your skin! Ask me how I know!
