Is it a bad sign when you ring the Dr.'s office and they instinctively know which child needs the emergency appointment after you've told them your surname?
I am thinking it is.
Either
A. Your on the childabuse watch list
B. They have a camera fixed on your house and saw you carry the boy up the front steps.
C. The impact reverberations from when the child hit the ground and then the large solid object fell on him reached the Dr.'s surgery.
D. They heard that horrific scream that came from your mouth, you know the one only dogs can hear, when you felt the house shake and just knew something awful was happening downstairs.
E. All of the above.
Anyway it's never a good thing. Not something you call your Grammie and boast about.
The crazieness continues without fail. You try and hold it back, you have lots of "Come to Jesus" talks with the boy about how the human body really is quite fragile and reasonably delicate.
It's the flying feeling that gets him everytime.
He decided to run and leap and swing on the roof rack that hangs when not in use underneath our highset house. Unfortunately, we did not use repelling ropes to suspend the 4wd rack from the beams under the house, so the ropes that were there, after a few jumps this time, well they broke, and like the nursery rhyme, baby came down only instead of a cradle to follow him, it was the roof rack and the timber door we were storing in that out of the way space.
It all landed on the base jumper's foot, thankfully not his neck.
The heel is BLACK.
The Dr. is highly amused, chuckling all the way through the child's telling him what he'd done this time.
The mother is rapidly aging and seriously considering a custom made Michellin Man suit for the boy.
