The list of injuries thus far:
The day before we left, #1 killed his knee. With help from Dixie. This has got to qualify for the Darwin of injuries. He has a pair of hiking shorts with toggles on elastic strings to cinch up various parts of the shorts- waist, pockets, and one around the bottom of each leg. Dixie never noticed these before, but for some reason the plastic toggle caught her eye, and she grabbed it in her mouth. And then, ran with it, way accross the living room. However, Dixie being distractable and all, she let go to bark at Libs, and let go the toggle. It snapped back incredibly hard, zipped his knee, and he collapsed!
It hit something, we're still not sure what, and the kneecap actually slid back and forth. His knee swelled up almost immediately, and he had to ice it for the rest of the evening. Only in our family.
Yesterday, while playing volleyball in the pool, I disclocated my wrist hitting an inflatable beach ball. Ow.
Last night, #4 got his tongue stuck in a bottle of soda. That was bad enough, but a brother decided to help it out by squeezing the drink out from the bottom. Not only did he nearly drown, he got a huge blister on the end of his tongue from the pressure of the drink.
Luckily, it only takes an hour to get home, and Chip and Brian managed to duck the Nathan streak of luck.
When Poe ain't happy, ain't nobody happy.
That means he was really sad.
