Phrases a mom never wants to hear

someone say when they call your cell phone:


1. This is so and so from the such and such public pool
2. Your son, Jack, just split his head open
3. He might need to go to the hospital

Honorable mention words a mom never wants to hear:


1. Ambulance

2. Fire department

3. Stitches



Thankfully, it wasn't as bad as the scenarios I had going through my head right after I got the call because all I remember hearing was "Split his head open blah blah blah" and "Ambulance blah blah blah". Once I got to see it for myself, the bad mommy in me couldn't get the phrase from a Monty Python movie out of my head. "It's only a flesh wound!"

It took a couple of stitches to put him back together again. He was a trooper the whole time. Didn't cry at ALL! He totally deserved the Sonic Blast afterwards.

Ouch! Poor little guy. I'm glad it wasn't as bad as you thought it might be.

I'm with you...those are certainly words I hope never to hear.

Glad everyone's okay.
