Crooked

Last weekend I was trying to manage the temper tantrum of a very strong little boy.  I should have just set him on the ground and let him have at it but instead I was holding him on the couch, trying to settle him down.

I ended up taking a head butt to the nose. Hard enough to bring tears to my eyes.

I covered my nose and cried.

Steve came over to see if I was ok.  He pulled my hands away from my face and looked shocked.

"Oh my God! Hon, your nose is crooked!! Oh my god! It looks really bad!!!"

And then I cried harder.

Because it's always been that way.

Aside from the OUCH (I hate that - so painful and distressing) and the, um, slight, from your husband, this it a briiiiiliant post.

Seriously, little kid heads are HARD and come at you so fast!! Too bad Steve's comment wasn't actually your daughters comment. Oh Steve!
