THUMP! ...followed by silence. If the kid is screaming, I know they are alive...and I can arrive at the scene of the crime patiently. I hate when they hurt themselves and then enter shock from blood or pain -- then you know it's bad. Had one of those today. A gash under the eye from falling on a corner.

Do women who are primaries notice that their children get hurt more when they are being taken care of by either their husbands or family members? Just curious.

Great story Jenn. I must admit that I'm glad it wasn't me who had to clean it up.

What sends a chill down my spine? How about a THUMP-WHUMP-CRASH followed by a scream, or a piercing cry. That will stop my in my tracks and furiously back peddle to the source of the sound.

The last time this happened, Tony ended up in the emergency room with a deep cut in his finger. Fortunately some medical super glue followed a week later by some antibiotics helped to heal the wound with no scar.

Oh my, I am laughing so hard. Thank yuu for sharing - how EVER did you get that stuff off her? And you know, in the end, on occasions like these where it really is innocent fun, laughing is what you are supposed to do! (Right?) - I'm not there yet, myself! Perhaps I have a lot to learn!

Thank you for giving me the best laugh I've had all day! (Sorry, I should be commiserating, shouldn't I?!) I love the bit about "don't tell mom" - as if you wouldn't have noticed!! You do know you should have taken a photo for the album, don't you? :)

I'm right there with you.I felt dread and nervousness just reading this post.A cruel thing for you to put upon someone who hasn't had coffee yet!
