Corwin had Jack over to visit yesterday but when Mom took him home, it turned out his dad had fallen out of a tree while gashing his wife’s forehead with the ladder on the way down. Both of them went off to the hospital so we kept Jack over night. By afternoon both parents were recovering without permanent injury and we were able to return Jack.
Mom ended up with a very “harry potter” style scar on her forehead. Now she looks really tough!
I didn’t want to say anything, but all I could think of is this gives her a variant of the “I brought you forth from my loins and this is the thanks I get?” argument. Any time she’s losing a domestic dispute from now on, she can just point at her forehead. “That’s why, dear”.
Yeah, I am thinking that scar will win her arguments for YEARS!
Maybe. This ended up leaving a scar that’s barely noticeable despite never getting stitches.
