I Have a Son
Kids toys should have a new addition to the warning labels. ** not to be bought for kids tending to miss toys when putting them away, or that have a parent who does not watch where she is going, and waits to the last minute to use the bathroom.**
my wonderful, beautiful, adorable son has pretty good aim with his nerf gun. here i was.. half talking on the phone with my dad, half watching t.v. and glancing down at my book every now and then.. enjoying peace and quiet from HIM... who didn't want to go to bed... (friday nights he gets to stay up... pretty much because i like to sleep in on sat. morning.) when thwack!!!! nerf bullet to the temple. being me, i don't take kindly to unprovoked, unwarned assults on my body... so i immediately jump up. split second decision... choking him was out of the question as i realized i had better utilize the bathroom. within 2 steps, 1 foot got snared in a nerf machine gun... my other foot landed on a matchbox car my body fell over a child-sized chair and my nose connected with a lego container. all while still talkin to my dad. (hopefully he laughs when he sees my nose.. ;) i only told him about the shooting... ) the legos did the damage... 3 relatively large cuts (on a nose) which bled profusely and led my oh-so-sorry son to put the toys away... try to kiss the boo-boo.. (NO) and go to bed without complaining... and i will be left with 3 more scars on my face... but when i am old, (-er) and my grandkids say... Nanee..what's that?? i will hopefully... teach them to put their toys away... and not wait to the last minute to P33...lol ;)
