Use your TWO eyes

December 2009

Liam came home with a nasty red bump below his left eyebrow making his eye look swollen.

Mommy: "What happened to your eye?"
Liam: "A door hit me."
Mommy: "A door hit you? I think you ran into one."
Liam: "No, the door moved and hit me."
Mommy: "Well, the door must have moved because someone wasn't holding it, or was moving it. The door don't move on its own."
Liam: "Well... I was chasing Tyler into school and he went in first and I tried to slip inside before the door closed but I was too slow."
Mommy: "Ah, so you ran into a door. Are you ok?"
Liam: "Yeah, I am fine."
Mommy: *Sigh* "You need to be more careful and watch where you are going. You have TWO eyes, use them."
Liam: "I always do!"
Mommy: "How about the time when you fell down the stairs and scraped your back because you were rockin' to the music; or when you fell and bumped your head when you stepped on the ball; or when you ran up the stairs and slipped/missed a stair and cut your lip, or when you..."
Liam: *GIGGLING* "I like being clumsy!"
Mommy: "You like hurting yourself?"
Liam: "No, but I like telling funny stories about myself."
