Thor was brought to the schoolnurse today while I happened to be in the office. Poor lamb (who brought it on himself by sliding down the handrail rather than taking the steps to the lowere playground) had a grazed lump on his noggin, a graze on the back of his shoulder, grazes on his arm, thigh, knee and shin. He said -very upset- "I think I broke my head"

ha, I told him he was lucky the school nurse was in so he stood a chance of some sympathy. He didn't get much, though

I did let him get out of swim team practice, though. He's three years too young to actually be on the team, but as he swims better than half the team and is prone to wander if not in the water, he has to practice alnong with his older sibs

Speaking as a sadder but wiser squirell, he was lucky it wasn't his nuts.

Moving right along, last night I let out a particularly loud and raucous fart, the squirrelita, (aka millimeter) said:
"I have a quiet, gentle one that I keep in my butt and it stinks."

Funny Thing

I took my mom to the ethnic part of town and to a clinic where she was to pick up her lower plate that had broken. I only mention ethnic because something extraordinary happened I cannot imagine happening in a posh mainly white office setting.

So her turn comes up, I am in the car waiting with the poodle. I am parked outside the door. It's beautiful sunny outside and I have the windows rolled down. I am watching parents with their children and the children are waving at the dog. It's not a bad way to spend a half an hour. I soon see her walking out the door with tears in her eyes. They say they cannot find her teeth. Before she reaches the car the receptionist runs out and asked her to come back in they may have found them.

So my mom goes in gets her lower plate and within seconds comes out with a full bite. When she is finally settled in her seat she tells me that when she was notified they lost her teeth everyone in the small cramped waiting room chanted," momma lost her teeth" "momma lost her teeth" "momma lost her teeth"When she went back in to get them they were chanting,"momma found her teeth" momma found her teeth" "momma found her teeth" I found it amusing. My mom not so much. She wasn't put off just not in the frame of mind to hold onto humor very long. She thought people were trying to be supportive and or make her smile. I am glad she at least thought that much and the event was dampened by the fact she was so distraught to not have her lower plate. My mom looks very ethnic herself. Once black hair now nearly white peppered with Grey and American Indian bone structure but paler than I.

I was touched and amused at the solidarity of a group of people who tried to make an old lady not feel so bad in a very unorthodox way and very unexpected way.

It's is one of those one in a lifetime occurrences you just need to jot down somewhere or share. So I'm sharing.

Totally back to normal. Beaten, bruised and scraped -which is normal for him He actually has a permanent bump on his head and permanent scar on his knee from so many toddlerhood accidents. But he played soccer and hockey today and is now on the Wii

Glad to hear! hehe... You've got one tough kid.

Skysidhe: Interesting. Frankly, I would be a bit unnerved if the whole office starting chanting like that. Being supportive didn't come in mind, so I'm glad you pointed that out.

The inch, 6 1/2 has begun his philosophical musings:
Right before bed-- "What was the something that existed before the universe?"
Using 'something' because he didn't have a word for what he didn't know.

The girl at a "comedy show" we were captive audience to: "Papa, I am irritated of this..."

Mrs. Nutkin and I were talking about the World Cup the other day and the the inchling asked what that was. We explained that it was a soccer game and that Netherlands was playing Spain.

He said "That must be a huge soccer field."
