<human>: I remembered this while reading another TIFU about digging a hole to China.  This was when I was 7 or 8.  A new neighbor girl had just moved in and my friends and I  invited her to be batgirl.  We would all run around the neighborhood jumping off things saying our super hero names.  We had a swingset that was over a small sand pit my dad had made in case me fell.  Unfortunately a small tornado had pulled it across our yard and removed all the swings.  Now we just had a A-frame over a sand pit.  We would run, jump and grab the cross bar to swing across the pit as part of our game.  One of us got the bright idea to put about 4 pencils pointy end up in the sand.  We didn't worry because no one ever failed the jump.  However living on a gravel road things got covered in dust quickly, just as it was my turn to jump over I exclaimed "I'm batman" and with a running jump grab the bar and immediately my hands slipped off plunging me 8 inches to my doom, or at least a pencil through my foot.  Luckily after all of my friends ran off in horror my sister heard my screaming and dragged me back to the house.  No one ever said being batman was easy.

Summarize the given text in a few sentences.
<bot>: played batman as a child, was not the hero my neighborhood deserved, was bested by a swingset and a pencil.
