Ana asked “what happened to that boy?”
So we scrolled through the picture a couple times while I told and re-told the story.
Each time I’d get to the last picture she would gag… and then say “I don’t like that picture… tell me again what happened to that boy.”

My mom told him a story about a boy who fell with a pinwheel in his mouth and how it WENT UP INTO HIS SINUSES. He kept asking her to tell it over and over. Wackadoo II.

Oh Adam….now I know why straws always scared me! The kids did not believe me…saving that image!

Ahhhhhhh! That looks awful! Now I know why my dad would never let us run with things in our mouth like lollipops! Or horns.
Did you guys win? 🙂

I was THERE–how in the hell did I not see his accident with the party horn? Oh wait–probably because I was already too traumatized by the deep lunge/traveling/linebacker playing basketball scenario.

I know that you said not for the faint of heart, next time I will take you more seriously. OMG! You’ll need to follow up and tell us what actually had to be done. That looks so sore… Shutter. Never showing this to my husband.

Ouchie! When I was a kid, I was jumping from the armrest of a chair into the seat, and banged my mouth on the other armrest, splitting the string-like think that attaches your upper lip to your upper gum on the inside of your mouth (go ahead, stick your tongue up there and feel it). Those stitches were NOT FUN.

Wow. That is just all kinds of nasty. I actually have a problem with just the word “uvula.” I always confuse it with that other word for that thing further south. In fact, one time I went to the doctor and he looked in my throat and said, “Wow. that is the biggest uvula I have ever seen.” I said. “No kidding? You can see ALL THE WAY down to THERE?”

So something my kids would do.
