Wow, We suck! February 25, 2007
Posted by spacemom in : Parenting 101 , trackbackHey! Did you know if you throw 2 kids in sleds, and push them down a step icy hill, that they can go down ALONE fine in their own sleds, but if you put them together in a single sled the combined mass causes them to go airborne? And the smallest one will completely hamburger her face?
Oh yeah, they don’t tell you this stuff when you are in the parenting classes.
Yes, of course we know via physics that double the mass will cause them to go faster, but I swear, neither of us thought about that bump in the ice…
She’ll heal… the mental image I have of her nose and mouth covered in blood will last longer than her wounds.
Soleil also got a nice bruise on her chin…
Yeah, we suck at parenting…

Oh, no! But even rocket scientists don’t think of everything. Hugs!
Gosh, you are a good Mom. It isn’t your fault that bump of ice got into the picture. I hope Soleil is feeling okay.
No. I did not know that. But now I do. Fret not. I have plenty to add to this category.
We’ve all got stories like that (read my blog entry about our own trip to the snow and how we creamed Maya on her sled). Luckily they stay with us much longer than with our kids…
I figure as long as we put the occasional dollar in our kids’ therapy fund jar it will all be fine in the end.
Soleil’s adorable, and I’ll bet she had a great time sledding anyway..
