Funny things they say....

SonofV, our budding stoic: " ".

It wasn't what he said, it was what he didn't say. We were walking (walking home by way of McDonalds after an afternoon of orienteering and hiking, about 8 miles) along and he chose a path off the sidewalk, following a somewhat more direct line to McDs. He was watching where he was putting his feet as he walked under the sign for the little shopping plaza. He was watching his feet but not his clearance and consequently smacked his head on the corner of the bracket holding up the sign.

I didn't hear the "gong" or the meaty smack that must have followed, nor did I hear him cuss or cry. He was entitled to, though. When I saw him rubbing his head and he told me what happened, I looked and saw blood trickling down over a nice goose egg. He's ok, nothing a bandage and a sackful of double cheeseburgers couldn't salve. But I would have turned the air blue.
