Broken

I broke Molly's face last night while playing. Was attempting to spin her round and round in her wagon like we usually do, only this time she stood up. khristle and i screamed in slow motion as we watched her skid across the parking lot pavement on her face.

Face covered in blood, we calmly walked home with a screaming baby in our arms.

Once it was all cleaned up, the only thing still noticeable on her is a bit of "Road Rash" on her upper lip that sits there like an off-center crimson Charlie Chaplin mustache.

That, and I can't stop seeing her skidding across the pavement on her face. It keeps making me want to scream, or cry, or... or *something*.

Oh, wow. Sounds kinda like what Jessika had to deal with: I was away on a business trip and Hunter tripped up on his blankie and went forehead first into the wooden corner of the ottoman. She watched the whole thing go down, and she ended up taking him to the ER to make sure he didn't get concussed or anything. Fortunately my son seems to be part Pachycephalosaurus or something, and was okay but for a big'ol bruise on his forhead.

During the summer I took the kiddos down to the TX panhandle to visit Mom. At the rest stop just before leaving OK there is a old school merry go round. I had the kids, and myself, all sitting on the thing. I was spinning it with my foot. I didn't notice that John wasn't hanging on when I gave it a good "oomfph". He flew right off and landed on the asphalt head first. He spent the better part of the evening complaining of a headache and that he couldn't see straight.

Who installs asphalt under a merry go round?

aw don't cry, darlin. It's all right, and as long as there were no major injuries, she should be ok for a 'sitting' wagon spin again soon.
