Suzi - that's totally awesome! see, the manniquin came to life and ATTACKED her. She fought it off, protecting her co-workers and shopeprs, and it went back to its inanimate state.
And, one assumes, she was rescued by The Doctor. "Nice to meet you, K-Bug. Now RUN!"
eta: Hi, Cash!
My favorite shot of my favorite roller derby socks!
Nice! Also, Slaybird is totes checking out your new haircut.
Poor K-Bug! I can't believe they didn't make her fill out an incident/injury report in the first place. H&M was adamant about that stuff.
I have to go over her head straight to my boss?
That's really weird.

I wish K-Bug liked Doctor Who. CJ is a fan...will have to give him this visual after karate.
She has never dealt with workers comp before and didn't know what to do. I had her log me into her company website and was really shocked that it took a lot of digging to find their workplace injury process and then link to medical providers was broken.
For added history, when she broke her hand before, it was a good 8 weeks before we got it x-rayed (my fault, I kept telling her to ice it). Then it was cast, surgery, cast for the whole summer. So hand injuries really make her nervous.

Yeeps. Awkward, as my daughter would say. (The 3rd grade use of "awkward" is quite interesting.)

That's an excellent shot, Cash!
We're all fully aware of Lego Lord of the Rings, right?

I knew about the Lego sets, Cash, but not the game. Tempting!
mac used awkward a lot in 3rd/4th grade as well - it was used in some PBS show he watched at the time, which is where I think he picked it up.
He now calls people stalker a lot which is odd and inaccurate. He draws no distinction between watching, looking at someone, and stalking.
Sara's word right now is "hilarious". Everything is hilarious.
A friend's third grader is the PC police. If you use any possibly shady descriptor, he calls you on it. Thsi would be admirable, but he doesn't make any distinction for correct usage. If you say "That is a black chair," he'll shout out "Racist!" It's kinda funny.
