Mom always said not to play with sticks...

Asher learned the hard way.

He was playing at a neighbors house when I heard the screaming. Here comes Asher around the corner to show me this. ..

I guess he was laying with his stomach on the swing and also had a stick in his hand, the stick hit the ground and jammed into his leg and the tip broke off. It didn't look TOO bad, but he wouldn't let me get near it and when he finally did let me try, it was actually wedged pretty tight. I made three good pulls without getting it out, and then I started getting a little queasy.
So, naturally I called a friend to come help pull it out.
What good friends we have.
Of course Asher didn't make a peep when Arron got over to help (thanks!). He must have been all cried out.

I might add that Micah was a very good brother. He wouldn't even go back over to his friends house because he didn't want to leave Asher while he was hurt.

The good news is, Asher hasn't really picked up a stick since then.
See, Moms do know what they are talking about.
