Here's a quick rundown of how we tried to kill our child yesterday:
- We decided to go out for breakfast, and as we walked up to the diner I opened the door right into Cheeky's head. She cried so hard she puked.
- We recovered enough to go in anyway, but as we were putting her into a booster seat Oodgie inadvertently pushed her chair in until her fingers got caught between the table and seat. More screaming.
- Later in the day, Cheeky was sitting at home on a dining room chair, pushing against the table with her legs while we were sitting around her. We were inattentive to the point that we watched her chair tip back in slow motion without reacting, with only the loud THWAP of the chair and child hitting the floor snapping us to action. Again, she puked.
And did I mention Cheeky also has a cold? And a bloody nose? We're awesome.




Send her to me and go on vacation!!!!!

We'll be over to "talk" to you after we watch Sopranos on TiVo.

I hope your state's department of child services doesn't read your blog.

I can't tell you what this post has done for my morale. Thanks!

Sounds like Poppy on the playground. Every other kids bounces around like as super ball. She trips and falls and bonks her ______ every visit, at least when I'm there. No puking, tho.

Note to self...don't leave Noodle with Croutonboy and Oodgie in July...invite them to leave Cheekie with us instead.
Yep, that about covers it.

Should I have Dr. Wife give you a call with some emergency medical tips? Sounds like you might benefit from a lesson or two.
