LittleNortherner got to visit the Urgent Care clinic....again.
Mr. Macho tried to stop a tire swing with his head. Turns out that he cannot do that, especially when another kid is swinging in the tire swing.
After the teachers picked him up off the ground, and got the tears and bleeding stopped, NorthernMommy got to cart LittleNortherner off to the clinic for stitches.
Doc, I think I'm dying....
LittleNortherner discovers that there is not a more boring place on earth than a hospital.
The staff frowns on playing with all the cool toys hanging on the wall.
Someone's got to smoosh the flesh back into the proper shape in preparation for the surgical adhesive...LittleNortherner vetoed Daddy's participation....
After it's all done - glued up, bandage on, life goes on - the toughest part has turned out to be answering the constant question of "What Happened?".
LittleNortherner has gotten fairly good at answering the question with a quick, "Tire Swing". He's even gotten to where he doesn't have to wait for the question to be asked. He notices a person glance towards his eyebrow and just offers the answer. Pesky people.
NorthernDaddy has tried to increase the level of 'manliness' to Little's story. He's suggested that Little embellish his tale to make it so he's the hero that pushed the cute girl out of the path of the tire swing, saving her just before he got walloped. No dice on Little's part.
After encountering "the question" umpteen times today while with Little, NorthernDaddy has insisted Little "man it up" in his response. Daddy has instructed Little as to the correct answer to give every time he gets the question of "What Happened?" :
"Knife Fight"
