remember when jordan decided to use the rear pew at ECC to break his pull-up record ? It fell backwards but luckily his upper lip was there to break its fall. dr glen dayo stitched him up as if he was a pig's gall bladder entry-point.
remember when susie attempted to shatter jordan's pull-up record by using that heavy table in the basement of the AICF church? well, surprise, surprise. it, too, fell. fortunately, susie had learned from her big brover to utilize her body to break the fall of that which was being pulled down, smashing her finger into smitherings. (what is a "smithering?") i'm sure everyone panicked and somebody probably even paged jay wiggins, whom was probably standing 33 feet away.
remember when i dropped firewood onto my finger and broke it?
remember when joel, glory, and bethany all broke their wrists?
remember when ben, jordan, charity, and i all blew out our right ACLs?
remember when julie needed her scalding hot chicken noodle soup so badly that she tried to ingest it through her chest and shoulder?

ReplyDeleteCould we set some sort of record with guiness book if we all had simultaneously a) broken our wrists or b) blown our right ACLs at the same time? I bet yes.
ReplyDeleteI vividly remember the julie-soup incident, I think it was 1990 or 1991. I remember the night it happened, the aftermath, the tub, the screaming, the quiet as shock crept in, the drive to the ER, the many subsequent skin graft appointments, the tight, tan colored wrap, the scar that magically shrunk over time, all of it. It was awful but if something like that had to happen to my kid I would certainly hope it happened young so they'd not remember it at all. Ack.
Remember when Julie pulled one of those old wooden stake knives out of my hand and cut my finger open and i hadda get stitches? all 'cause she wanted to cut the cheese herself. back when the stake knives were sharp.
ReplyDeleteremember back when jordan tried to carve the outline of a fighter jet onto a small piece of cardboard with a steak knife? pretty sure it ended in stiches
