Breaking News

Question: What do you get when you have a pink bowling ball, a step, and a two year old?

Answer: A broken thumb.



I think any sport that you can break bones should be considered extreme. Bowling Alley's need to post disclaimers and require signed waivers if you ask me.

Case and point: Last week we went bowling and ended up at the Instacare with a sad boy and a broken thumb. Were you aware bowling became an extreme sport? Me either, so you can imagine my disappointment when Brynner figured it out. Now I'm not saying we don't love us some extreme sports, but I'll come prepared with pads and a helmet next time. It's all about calculated risks. He trips and falls all the time, but never with a big pink bowling ball in hand while wearing slick shoes, in front of a step. I knew he probably broke something when I took a look at his swollen hand and bruising thumb just seconds after he fell. His screaming and clenching his hand also clued me in. He didn't really stop screaming until the nurse gave him a Louie-Bloo Raspberry. In case you don't speak Otter Pop, that's the name of the blue one. A dinosaur sticker and horse sticker were also required, but then he was a brave boy and was so good for the x-rays. Wanna see? It's a picture of a picture but if you look really close you'll see the break on the tip of his thumb.



So yeah, that was fun.
