to be pissing myself laughing because...

[Milkysallgone]

poor ds just came in pointing to his finger; I looked at it and said "Oooh it's a big splinter!" So I hold ds tight while dh proceeds to sctratch and squeeze the bugger out.....

After an agonising 5 mins of this for ds, we realised it was actually an old scratch and not a splinter . At this point dh had successfully broken the skin and was digging the imaginary splinter out with his fingernail with poor little ds howling away.

He's had big cuddles but we can't help giggling. Yes yes I know I'm EVIL!!

you naught naught lady...

lol your poor ds xx

not quite sure why its funny.

whys it funny?
guess you had to be there...

ds in pain - not funny.

Just the buffons that we are......

Not funny IMO

It is a little, tiny bit funny from a distance. Poor wee DS though.

You probably did have to be there. I assure you I am not a heartless cow, just find my own silly mistake amusing

I must the most awful person but I couldn't even read the post to DH because I was laughing and crying so much

Thank you for making me laugh more than I have in ages!

Sorry...that's funny. I'd have laughed.

DD came home with a poorly hand yesterday. Nanny, who was looking after her, had made a HUGE fuss and given her calpol and a plaster. When said plaster was removed, I giggled and said it was a weeny little scrape..clearly nanny was a bit mad making so much fuss.

DD said, mommy...if you'd been there when I'd done it, you'd have hugged me and hugged me (which I would...but I'd have probably laughed at the same time) and you'd have said 'I bet that didn't tickle'. My daughter knows me so well!

Have I missed summink here?

The occasional comedy fall is funny.

Hurting your child I fail to find amusing.

Soz. I don't get this either?

well i must be horrible because i am chuckling away....can imagine your DH
"keep still...ive nearly got it" with his tongue hanging out of the side of mouth R

getmeout, it's not as if the OP was hurting their child on purpose. They genuinely believed that they were hurting him out of necessity to make things better. And the laughter was not for his pain- which I am sure they dealt with sympathetically- but for their silly mistake.

I wasn't suggesting they hurt him on purpose.

I just fail to chuckle at their mistake (I know we have all done it). I am not a poker face (honest-lol).
