Broken Bones

monster · 09-30-2010, 10:52 PM

How many bones have you and your partner and your kids and pets broken?

Me: 1 wrist -greenstick fracture
Beest: none
hebe: 1 upper arm (undetected for 9 days)
Hector: 1 elbow (surgery and two pins)
Thor: None
Pets: None

talking to other families at the pool tonight, seems like we have gotten off lightly with our kids (so far), given how active they are......

I broke my neck and my ulna.
Hub broke his arm as a kid.
1 dog broken leg [amazing considering how many dogs have passed thru my life and how much farm machinery is about

]

Daughter15-ankle (just finished 1 yr brace)

Current dogs/cat-none
Prior dog-two legs. Jumped off bed and broke one, no idea how he broke the other a year later. Silly little pom.

My brother fractured his collarbone when he was a kid. Had to wear this funky brace around his shoulders for a couple of months. Other than that, nothing at all.

Me - Arm , and to many toes and fingers to count , my Nose has been sideways a few times

Carol , None

GunMaster357 · 10-01-2010, 07:20 AM

I did break a few bones, but none of mine

Usually, they're noses...

When I was a kid, all my sibling broke something, and I didn't. So far, my wife and kids and I have broken nothing.

It's the times. When I was a kid, playground equipment was anchored to blacktop. Entire playgrounds were paved. Now the rules call for a foot of mulch around playground equipment. It's much safer now to be a kid. (Except for that whole getting fat in front of the video games thing.)

Me - tibia, humorus (not funny)
wfe, kid #1, kid #2 - nada

Spexxvet · 10-01-2010, 10:33 AM

Undertoad · 10-01-2010, 11:24 AM

Sticks and stones will break your bones
But names will never hurt you.
