Sunday in the Fall, it's football. ALL DAY! When there isn't a game on T.V.,the boys are playing it.
A friend asked me to pick her up at the airport, so Bill and I left the kids to the game and went to pick Alyce up.
Right after we got Alyce, I got a call on my cell phone....it was Justin, and he said "uh, Mom...how do you stop bleeding"??? I yelled put some pressure on it..."what is going on??? Who's bleeding"?? He just told me it'll be okay, and that he would call back.
After about ten minutes Justin called back and told me Daniel was bleeding very badly and it wouldn't stop. I asked him where he was bleeding and he told me his butt....I told him to tell Daniel to sit on it for awhile to see if that would help....It was pretty serious, but the boys were laughing hysterically in the background. Apparently, Daniel had left a boken glass on the arm of his chair, and a friend came over to watch the game. Daniel jumped up to shake his hand and plopped down...right on the broken glass. Daniel was wearing blue jeans, and under them basketball shorts and under them boxers! He must have sat down pretty hard for the glass to go through three layers of clothes (four if you count his skin). The boys were arguing what to do and Justin was thinking he might have to check and see if there was glass in his rear, which made the boys laugh all the harder!
Since sitting on it did not stop the bleeding, we told Justin to bring Daniel to the emergency room....even the nurses were a little surprised by his injury! He ended up getting twenty stitches in his rear! Poor Daniel had a hard time sitting for the next couple of weeks.... he was pretty humiliated and was the "butt" of alot of jokes! The funniest part was when Daniel had the stitches removed. His Doctor is a lady! When we went in to get the stitches out she asked where they were....she just laughed and said "I probably don't want to know what happened...do I?" and she couldn't stop laughing either!
So, Daniel got a football injury without even playing the game!
Life is always exciting here!
