One Hit in the Face

One day me and my dad were playing catch with each other in the backyard. We were passing it back and forth in as many ways possible. For example, pop fly's, grounders, fast balls, you name it! So he threw me a HUGE pop fly in the air. I was scrambling to get it like a lot of people did, when suddenly I feel a harp pain in my right eye. The next thing I knew I was on the ground bawling and holding my eye when my dad ran at me. He asked me what happened and I said I don't know I just got hit in the eye with the ball. I then found out that I must had flinched when I was about to hit the ball, and the ball hit my face. Thankfully I didn't get a black eye because the ball only hit the bone around my eye. But after that, trying to catch pop fly's made by my dad was not safe...
