Define insanity
A child - who broke both his ankles over the summer (on a tampoline) - coming home from his friend's house to tell you he'd been jumping on a trampoline . . . OMG - can you say apoplectic?



Never mind the fact that he still has TWO screws in his ankle from the surgey to fix the completely separated bone - sadly - he can't see the harm . . . did I mention apoplectic?

Oh, Dennie! Bonnie is right: this is the world of mothering boys. But damn! Apopletic is an understatement!

Oh no! This is both hilarious and nail-bitingly awful at the same time, Dennie! Funny how age can make such a difference. I broke my ankle a couple of years ago and even now the thought of jumping on a trampoline makes my old mended bones twinge. :-0

Hope you had a happy Thanksgiving!

Hi Dennie, I came over through Bonnie Wren's blog. I had a friend whose son was injured on a trampoline. It knocked out all his teeth and broke his face in several places. He had to have a lot of plastic surgery.

Congratulations on the book deal! Woo hoo! You go, girl.

...or have gray hair. I shudder at the thought of having screws in my ankles and then jumping on 'anything'!

I still have nightmares - that was the most frightening time as a mother for me - and he... children are so resilient - shoot, he keeps standing in the middle of the living room floor jumping straight up and touching the ceiling - because he can (he's taller than me now, y'know) *shakes head* some day he'll have kids... I can't wait to remind him of this!
