[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
I liked to stand up under things and split my scalp open (scalp lacs are notorious bleeders) when I was a wee lad.
Also I had lots of nightmares about finding myself at the wheel of a moving car, from very early on. They were always quite scary. Somehow I got that it was dangerous for me to try and drive.
Once I hit my teen years and knew I could reach the pedals, that dream stopped.
Oh! That really hurts. I know. Let's look at that.
I want to think that would be my response. Interesting mark you have there, yeouch, now what? I'm afraid, however, I'd be the first one to cry!
Excellent advice that kids never heed.
Which would be why he still uses it even though we're all in our twenties. :)
I was famous for biting through my lower lip whenever I fell.
So he'd comfort for actual pain, but if it was just a toddler WTF he'd start clapping and say, "Great slide! Home run!" and the kid would start beaming.
Hee. We've done that. If Sara falls but gets up without crying, we'll sometimes say, "Oops! How'd that happen?" And she'll laugh -- and then usually try to do it again on purpose.
Blah. Can I interrupt for a moment? It's my DexH's birthday today, and he's on IM. I wished him a happy birthday, and he ignored me. He's been doing that every time I've pinged him lately. I thought we'd patched things up last summer, but apparently not so much. It makes me sad.
Okay, done now. Please return to your previous how-toddlers-survive-is-a-mystery conversation.
I'm afraid, however, I'd be the first one to cry!
No you wouldn't. Kids are total boo-boo whores.
My dad's oft-repeated phrase was "You know how to make that stop hurting? Don't do it anymore."
Excellent advice that kids never heed.
Nor some adults, apparently. glares at self
Oh, Kristin, that's sucky. I'm sorry.
I loved your "but not into that outlet" from before, though! Made me laugh.
I'm sorry, Kristin. Any chance he's just left his IM on but isn't actually at the computer? (Speaking as someone who does that all the time...)

I suppose so, but it seems awfully consistent. Anyway, nothing to do about it really. It's just a bummer.
