But You Should See the Other Guy


OK, so the other guy is a tire (or tyre if I speak native Aussie, but this is one of those words I refuse to change) and it really isn't damaged at all. Really, it didn't even blink. Course that may be because it's, well, a tire.

The Hermit drove Miss Thing (no,she still doesn't have a licence but then again she has nothing to drive... don't get me started) to work in my 4WD on Saturday and when he got home the back left tire was leaking air. Naturally Clive wanted to be in on the action and was outside with Dad during the tire change. Naturally I wanted nothing to do with the testosterone exercize that is tire changing and was inside. Some time later I heard a loud scream, a shout and footsteps. Next thing I know Clive is being thrust at me with blood pouring down his face.

Good thing I got over my childhood fear of blood, hey Momma Mooselet?

Turns out Clive just couldn't keep his hands off the tire and tipped it over... right onto his lip. Thankfully he didn't need stitches, just lots of ice and TLC.

The boy is going to be the death of me...

Ow-wee!! Poor little guy. I've seen that fat lip before...on my boys. :-) Teeth OK? Hugs and kisses from Aunty...who?

Poor little guy! (Although, I'm not sure "little" still applies, as it appears that he's growing by leaps and bounds.)

Momma Mooselet said...

Poor kid. Losing to an inanimate object is worse than tripping over your own feet. I always found that the TLC counts the most. Hugs and kisses from Grandma. And tell him to go out and kick the tire for me.

Poor little Clive.

Ouchies! I'd tell him to go and kick it but he'd probably break his toe (been there, done that lol).

Hope he feels better soon....and for god's sake, stop torturing the poor boy. Buy him a real t-shirt!! I have ample supplies here if you want one lol. WOOHOOO!!!! 4 sleeps until the season starts, 6 sleeps until the 2010 premiers play.

Tell me about it! I think little boys are genetically programmed to self-destruct. Keeping them from doing so on a daily basis is a parenting miracle.
