This afternoon while I was making dinner, I heard a scream. Yes, that kind of scream-an injury scream. Micah came running in yelling, "his head, his head." My worst fears were realized. With one look I knew we had a skull fracture on our hands.
I glanced at Dudi, who was already on the verge of tears, and knew I needed to be the calm one. I began to ask the regular questions- "Who did it," & "How did it happen?"
The answers: Olivia and her shoe. Yes, a shoe. Not even a boot. She just wacked him in the head and that was that.
I wasn't sure a full recovery was possible. Things are still a little touch and go, but after stitches (we opted for the glue kind), our patient is recovering as well as can be expected.

Mary, that was seriously hilarious! I was prepared for the worst and when I saw the doll I just started laughing and laughing! Great blog.
So, so fantastically written, Mary. You are a hoot!
And uh, when I read the title you TOTALLY got me. I thought, "Oh, no...who is it...who had to get stitches."
I must confess that I scrolled down before reading the whole post and howled with laughter! Then, when I read it I laughted even harder becasue it was so superbly written. My favorite line was, "Things are still a little touch and go". So funny!
Dudi, I am sorry about Bruno. It is always hardest to see a childhood friend suffer.
I just read this to Evan and he loved it. I made him wait to scroll down and he cracked up.
I am going to ask you at presidency meeting how you get your pictures to be colored and black and white at the same time. It looks so fabulous. I love the one of Olivia's heart shirt, too.
Sorry to hear about Davins doll, I remember it well. I am glad it has been fixed! Mary, how do you get your blogger links to show when they were last updated? I could not figure it out.
That is a great story! Poor Davin:(
Oh, you cute kids! I'm so glad you took the time to fix poor Bruno! You said Niki was practically in tears (:))...well, I'm entitled to shed a few too then! I have memories tied up with that little guy as well! Gosh, Livy must pack quite a punch! Nicki used to 'chuck' that poor doll across the room at either Taylor or Salli quite frequently, as I recall, when all 3 of them used to share a bedroom. :_)
