I think our house is cursed! We seem to have a string of accidents where people get pretty seriously injured here. My bunko friend Brenda runs into our glass front door and breaks her nose, Brandon falls and bashes his head into the counter ending up with a bunch of staples in his head. Just last weekend Sicily tripped on our sidewalk and bashed her knee up pretty well, has to get an MRI to see if she has a torn meniscus or ACL. Then today the girls were playing in their toy room, I was in the garage trying to fix the flat tires on Jasmine’s bike so we could go for a walk. Nyah opens the door screaming and crying I ask her whats wrong and look up to see blood all over her face, hands and shirt. I carry her into the kitchen trying to get her to calm down and tell me what happened so I can figure out where the blood is coming from. Finally amid a lot of crying I get that she fell on her face. I look at her lip which looks like she bit it but not a lot of blood is coming from there. So I get her mouth open and lift her upper lip to see a gash in her upper gums that is about 1/2 inch long. I call Sicily who calls her mom (an RN) who says she doesn’t think from the desrciption that she’d need stitches, whew! Finally after a dose of motrin and tylenol, and a gogurt Nyah calms down and I get her cleaned up. Then of course we had to go get slurpees to help with the swelling . . . and to make a very sad little girl happy. After all this I finally get the full story. They were playing in the toy room Nyah had her backpack leash on and Jasmine was holding on to it and let go so Nyah flew forward and slammed her face into the base of the little entertainment center cutting her gums and biting her lip pretty hard too. Poor girl! Sicily has very kindly offered to get some caution tape for our house but I think I’m going to start requiring everyone to wear full football gear, pads helmets and all while you’re at our house.
