SUPER GLUED

So today number two grandson had a trip to the Emergency room of the hospital.  He was playing around in a chair and fell over backwards.  He cut his head and of course there was a lot of blood.  So much so he had to be washed down before going and have his clothes changed.  Luckily his head stopped bleeding fast.  Grandson number one let everyone know he told his little brother to stop.  But like most little brothers it fell on deaf ears.  Nevertheless he got it out it wasn't his fault.  This was all little brothers doing.

So off to the hospital daughter, son-in-law and number two grandson went.  On the trip to the hospital number two grandson had two observations.  The first was McDonalds address was 1600 and the second was he thought he was going to need a wheelchair when he got there.  The first was most likely because it was lunch time and the second well this is a six year old who asked for a CAT Scan when he was five. 

I love my grandchildren for a variety of reasons but the one that best fits now is, they do not lack for confidence.  Number two grandson in particular.  When called to the back, mom said lets go handsome boy.  To which he replied, "I am handsome."  Mom said you shouldn't say that.  His answer, "But it's true."  Humility is something we're going to have to work on. 

After a short wait, he was examined and super-glued (Dermabond) back together.  With the instructions to watch him over the next few hours and not to wash his hair or head for twenty four hours.  I guess when one is super-glued back together one must cure.  It amazes me what hospital staff can do now a days with super-glue.  I'm just thinking back to the days when it was first on the market and how many people found themselves at the hospital.  Mostly because well they super-glued something or other closed.  Maybe that's where they got the idea to start using super-glue.

So home they came.  In normal fashion number two grandson walked into the house full of personality.  Calling for number one grandson.  "Hey big bro I'm home.  I didn't get stapled, band aide or, or, or" (I said stitched) "yeah stitched.  I got glued."

What started out as a rough start to the afternoon, quickly became full of humor.  Learning to laugh at ones situation is the best way to get through life.  Without laughter the world quickly closes in on us, making us feel more and more overwhelmed.  Remember laughter is the best medicine.

Have a Safe and Blessed day and remember share your knowledge.
