Well I'm not sure if this qualifies me as a bad mother but I've injured my child. It sounds a lot more ominous than it actually is however. For my Father In Laws 60th birthday he gathered his little hatchlings around him. Unfortunately one couldn't attend being in a different country but the rest of us were there with our little hatchlings.
Now this Auntie decided to go show her fourteen year old soccer playing niece how it's done but quickly realizing I had no idea how to play I decided to just change the game. It soon turned into a straight up wrestling match for the soccerball. And here is where the folly started.
As we wrestled the other kids wanted to get in on the fun and started to run over to where we were. I then swung my niece around so I could get a better grip on the ball.. her feet swung out and tripped my younger niece who tripped and fell on my son. Enter Tears and crying.
As it turns out the only way to get him to stop was to put a special foot bandaid on his foot (a tenser bandage) and let him play super mario on the wii.
I've now had to take him to the doctor who sent him for an xray of his foot and I'm hoping it's not fracture since 3 days later he's still favoring it.
What a comedy of errors. Elegance nor grace have ever been used to describe me and this reminds me why.
