The middle child is at it again...
Screwing around in the house, spinning around for fun and instead of falling on face, tries to use the hand...First diagnosis - severe sprain. Comes home, hopping and jumping around about "I've got a free pass, free paaaasss, free paaaaasss. No PE for ME...". Mind you, jumping - hard core. So, I wrote the note to the PE teacher to let the child run sprints all class. Then the child has the audacity to try to get out of chores - can't do dishes or clear table - it might get more hurt. The plays for sympathy and laziness were all around...
Unfortunately, the ER called back after hours. Radiologist has looked at the X-Ray and determined there is breakage. The brat broke the hand. The right (or write) hand. Free pass - check. Chores lessened - check. Someone to write for the child...umm, still working on it. Radiologist stated it was imperative the child return to be splinted - in the morning. Think we'll use the frequent flyer miles with the orthopaedic doc. Dang kid. I'm so mad I might break the other arm.
Middle child syndrom stinks.

I love your family antics! Just so you know - you are the reason for my daily morning chuckle & also the reason why my coworkes think I may be nuts; sitting all alone over here in my cube giggling :) Sympathy (or congrats!) to the middle child - is there a body part that hasn't been splinted, broken, bandaged, etc...yet?
Hey Bean - you would chuckle anyway...but I'm glad you have a reason. As for the middle, let's see - stitches in the lip - twice. Broken foot, broken hand - same side...hmmm. Just the left side I'm thinking is all that's left...
LOL, It had been awhile, maybe she missed the smell of plaster. :)
