Something not to do in a confined space with your child is play a variation of Blind Man’s Bluff. Which we were doing yesterday morning, my eyes were closed, and I ended up tripping backwards over a toy and usually I’m good at catching myslf in such situations but that’s when I can see and being deprived of that sense I ended up landing in a wagon we use by the door for holding H.o.p.’s little scooter, in which happened to be also a big megablocks (legos) pirate ship and whacking the back of my head hard against the wall. One of those, “Oh, I didn’t intend for this to happen” moments, and there’s no taking it back, and you know you’re going to be in considerable pain for a while. I still have a huge bump on my noggin and a slight headache and the muscles hurt and I’m green with bruises from landing on the pirate ship and scooter and (ironically) on H.o.p.’s helmet that he uses on his scooter.
And that hurts tmost of all, that I landed on a helmet when whacking my head in the wall.
Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow.
