40 inches

Do you know what is 40 inches tall?

I'll tell you

This guy

You know what else is about 40 inches high?

I'll tell you

This thing

Do you know what happens when they collide?

I'll tell you

THIS

Our little Frankenstein

has 3 staples

Connor was leaving the playroom

and hit his head on the door thing

He came up the stairs crying

telling me he hit his head

It was a few moments before I saw blood

The head bleeds

ALOT

Then I started wondering if it would need a stitch or two

I called Mark and my neighbor

Then I called my doctor's office

I wanted to know if should bring him there

or take him to a clinic

I am still waiting on them to call back

(needless to say I am looking for a new doctor)

I headed for the clinic

dropping the little boys off at a childwatch place

We got right in at a quack shack

I had told Connor the doc would probably just put a special bandaid on it

But instead he said it needed a few staples

Apparently they no longer do stitches in the head

And they don't numb it up

The shots to numb it are far more painful than the staples

The put a little topical medicine on it

which supposedly numbs it a bit

When the guy was saying he would need staples

Connor's eyes filled up with tears

and he looked scared to death

He could not even speak

But he sat there and played phone games

while I held the medicine on his noggin for 10 minutes

It was quick for the actual stapling

but he screamed and cried

then 2 minutes later we were discussing what Lego toy he wanted

$75 for the doctor visit

$20 for new Legos

story for a lifetime

priceless

Can't believe I made it over 5 years

without a major event

I hope this does not open the flood gates
