Well....as u know i mentioned the other day that i have been told that I allow my boys to use the computer laystations etc way too much (but it's ok for their kids to play football for 12 hrs a day etc....)
So on sunday i vowed they would go out...and out they did go....alex and leigh wre driving me mad and i just wanted a break. so i asked tom to take them off for a while and they went off with £2 for sweets etc...alex on his tractor and leigh on his 3 wheel scooter....and tom 'disjointedly' scooting along on his .
so an hour later they return- tom having tangled his trouser leg in leigh's scooter wheel...and as the'd decided to pay a visit to the local BMX track...he had gravel embeddded in his hand...and he ached...but we just thought he'd bruised his wrist.
so yesterday we noticed that he was not using his right hand at all....so took him to A&E...and discovered he'd broken a bone in his hand.
SO...........
A) PROOF that like it or not....he is better of on his PC!!!!! (i am never again going to force him out- he could do far worse than break a bone...and i feel gulity as sin about this )
B) PROOF that i was wrong to 'use' him to give me respite.
C)PROOF...that he really has a high pain threshold- he broke his arm 2 years ago and didn't feel that either
