Pick DS 6yo up from school and stop at shops for lunch that can be recycled, composted etc (to do with school trip tomorrow)

DS is going through that stage where 'lifes not fair', everythings 'uurrgg '................. I'm sure theres more but I switch off Wink

So he starts again whinging about having to go in 1 shop for bits, then about cartons of drink (told to get them but now they have to have sports bottle) etc. I reason with him etc but it fails so fairly loudly tell him 'I've had enough of him moaning even when things are for him and I'm going home' Blush

Turn around and walk straight into a lampost and have a fabulous black eye. Shock

DS blames me, I blame the lampost and I'm hoping the lampost hold DS responsible for me assualting it.Grin

Who's BU?

Ouuuuuch!!!!!

I bet DS laughed as well, didnt he!

Yes he did, then looked guilty and apologised.

Thing is I have had an infected tooth and had root canal as emergency treatment on Sunday. My right hand side of my face is swollen and still fairly numb and partially paralysed - they think the aneasthetic severed a nerve. And now my left eye is swollen and black.

Sorry but that's hilarious...though I hope you're ok Grin

My 8yr old was winding me up the other day at the dinner table. I tapped the table firmly and said "NO!"...catching the end of my spoon and flicking leek and potato soup all over my head Blush

Oh god, I remember years ago walking along with a mate of mine, who was chatting away energetically, looking at me, when I started to laugh uncontrollably. He said 'What are you laughing at?'

and walked into the lamppost he hadn't noticed in front of him. I said 'That!'

I seriously could not stop laughing long enough to warn him....... I don't think he's ever forgiven me Grin

It was really funny Blush

It made this almighty clanging noise as well which drew attention to it.

worra Grin weren't having onion overalls that night then? Wink

Poledra Is that what inspired your MN name poled-ra. Smile

Walking to school with my mate one day, she was ogling some lad on the other side of the road and went smacking into a lampost breaking her nose.

I still laugh when I see her on facebook as her conk was quite big, and is still a bit wonky!

worraliberty · 03/05/2011 23:40

Onion overalls was the next course Wink

Lmao @ Squeaky!

Squeaky Grin

Luckily I hit the side of my face so my glasses took most of the impact. They are wonky though so trip to optitions today.
