Last night the kiddo dropped a glass and cut his left thumb pad open. He's fine and didn't need any stitches or anything, which is good. He learned the whole "pressure on the cut with a cloth slows the bleeding" trick and thinks mom is still able to fix just about everything.
Except, today he learned the downside of his injury. He is unable to play video games. That's right - summer vacation has been ruined by the need to drink water. Now he will be more inclined to go out in the hot Oklahoma heat, bug the neighbor kids and ride his bike even closer to the ends of the earth than he already has so far. He says that it doesn't bug him not to be able to play games and he is just glad that his finger is healing, which is good. However, ask him again in a few days when he's bored and tired of being a good sport.
