Life with boys

all too often includes the...................

Bug and Boobah were playing on the stairs, yes I am aware it's a bad idea; a few minutes later there was Bug screaming at the bottom of the stairs and blood was gushing. With every heart beat..... GOOSH! His tank top originally had Thomas the train on the front; just before it hit the trash you couldn't see Thomas. Totally covered in blood. So 5 kids off to the Emergency room, quickly call Auntie to meet us there for the remaining 4. Even in this situation, the nurses, waiting patients, and receptionists are all seen with their mouths open....... you can just see the "Are they all yours?" wanting to roll off their tongues. The doctor was wonderful. She is Russian, with a Neuro background. She spoke to Max, so calmly, in Russian. He clearly understood and relaxed a bit. I was so grateful.
Alas, 3 hours and 4 staples later...... Bug will survive.
