Sons and Stitches

We had our house warming party today.  It’s Labor Day.  Everything was going fine, we were all having a great time until…I hear my name being called out front, then I see my 11 year old with blood all over his face.  Ouch!  He kicked up his skateboard and it hit him in the eyebrow and there you go.  He only got 4 stitches, but it was still gross.  We waited about 3 hours in the emergency room and he was lifting his eyebrows up and I swear the thing was getting bigger.  I mean it looked like a third eye.  The worst was when he decided he wanted to put his sweatshirt on.  Oh man that thing stretched down, it was so gross.

I was proud of my son.  He didn’t shed one tear even when the doctor put the needle right into his wound.  It really looked like it hurt and my daughter almost passed out.

I really hate skateboards.
