IMPORTANT LIFE LESSON!!! DON'T RUN WITH A POTATO MASHER!!!

[VelmaD]

I'm going to the doc for the first time in ages today and I had my momma help me put together a medical history on me and my family. I knew I had a leg infection when I was little bitty...she refered to it as "cellulitis caused by an injury".

I asked, "what kind of injury?"

She just informed me via email that I "was playing with a potato masher and fell on it".

So of course I asked how I managed that trick.

I was bad...I took it out of the drawer and was RUNNING WITH IT!!!

Let this be a lesson to you all. :)

1. and don't ride a grandson's scooter down your hilly driveway

That wasn't fun to watch.
:(

5. I bet...

it would be even less fun to do. Ouch.

6. Are you sure?

When I was a kid my dad tried to ride my skateboard down the driveway and it was very fun to watch... (Of course, the experience may be different if it involves a hospital trip...)

14. It did involve a hospital trip and a subsequent surgery

under general anesthesia.

4. I know

*scuffs toe in dirt and looks pitiful*

7. Especially around a swimming pool...

There's a link somewhere showing how dangerous it is.

I'm sure of it.

8. I still can't quite figure out...

how I hurt myself bad enough to end up with an infection. I think I'm gonna have to call my mother to discuss this in person. Did she have the world's only potato masher honed to a razor sharp edge or something?

13. kids always manage to hurt themselves in ways you would

not think were physically possible. Sometimes I say to my kid, how did you do that... how was that possible? :)

9. Do not sleep with the meat tenderizer

It is a poor substitute for a wooby, and it leaves waffle marks on your face

[VelmaD]

10. Thanks...

I'll try to remember that in the future. *snort*

My little brother is lucky to be alive today after what he did with the meat tenderizer. HE used it on some of the keys on my piano when he was a toddler. Also on my mom's dining room chairs. I though one or the other of us was gonna kill him.

11. I thought you wrote 'woody'

The remark about the waffle marks had me :scared:

[VelmaD]

12. It's still accurate...

in either case. :scared:

16. Don't climb up to the top of the fridge to get a cookie when your'e 4.

It may result in a separated shoulder when you hit the deck. GOod one by me.
