My 7 year old junkie

[Rambis]

Our seven year old tried to jump into the city pool yesterday and missed. He hit his chin on the side and had to have 9 stitches in his tongue and 11 in his chin.

Right before they put him under for surgery the doc says..... "feelin pretty good there big man?"
The boy says YEAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! doctor turns to us and says "just say no right?"
He is doin fine and will be able to eat solid food a week or so.

2. sounds pretty nasty

I'm wondering though... how do you "miss" the pool?

Did he slip?

3. He tried to jump

and spin at the same time- He either over rotated or under and came down straight feet first and hit the chin on the deck.

poor kid. He'll be a hero to his friends for a while though :)

I see milk shakes and popsicles in his future.

7. Graham crackers and milk

mush- I did not know they even stitched tongues until last evening.
