Today is MiddleChild's birthday! 13, I can hardly believe it. She has been super-psyched about today for awhile. So excited that she came tearing off the bus whooohoooing and running. I know this because her brother and I were waiting right inside to surprise her. We heard her running, then 2 wooohooo's, then we heard a big splat followed by the tires of her bus screeching. Luckily it was only because her wonderful bus driver saw her fall in the driveway and stopped to see if she was alright. She bit it really hard. So hard that her elbow is super gross, so gross that I'm going to share a picture with you. You're welcome!
(that's not the worst of it btw.)
The only cure for a road rash is apparently opening presents. Sometimes it is a perfectly good present, but it isn't THE ONE.
When you get to the one present that you have been DREAMING about.... well the only thing to do is jump up, make the international ka-ching sign/sound, and fan yourself with your itunes gift card. DUH, everyone knows that.
Then you MUST finally face your public and talk on the phone with your adoring fans for hours on end.... reliving every single second of your day. Including the fall, which you just mention as an aside. There is no reason to let half your elbow missing spoil an otherwise great day!
On the other hand, its been a rough day for Heinz. He clearly isn't used to all this excitement; he also doesn't approve of not being the center of attention at all times. Another thing he doesn't "get" is why he isn't allowed to fix MiddleChild's arm by licking the crap out of it. Poor dear.
The title to this was her answer when her father asked what music she wanted put onto her ipod. You see when she was about 5 her all time favorite song was Hash Pipe. Yes she sang it at school. Yes there was concern. Explaining what the song is really about is of no help in this situation... just FYI.
