["I remember one time when I was little I was running around in the basement when I wasn't supposed to be.", 'Gee that sounds fun, but did you get in trouble?', 'Yeah, my mom had told me multiple time to not run in the basement. Next thing I know, I tripped on a lamp cord making the lamp fall and break into pieces.']
Oh no! That's no fun. I hope they're not still mad at you!
Once  when I was little I was running around in the basement like my mom had told me not to do. Next thing I know I tripped on a lamp cord and the lamp fell to the floor, breaking into pieces.
