Notable Comments from the Evening:
*Kacin: (as the blood literally shoots from Eric's head) "It's not bleeding that bad, Daddy."
*Eric: "Do you want me to drive to urgent care?"
Laura: "I'm OK. I haven't passed out yet . . ."
*Eric: (later on at Urgent Care) "Kyler, would you please throw my juice away."
Kyler: "Get up and do it yourself."
Eric and Laura: lecture about being kind, daddy's hurt, service, thoughtfulness, love, etc. etc.
Laura: "What would you want us to do if you were the one hurt like daddy?"
Kyler: "I wouldn't get hurt on that tree. I'm not tall enough!"
*Kacin: (saying the family prayer tonight) "Please bless that daddy won't run into trees."
Amen to that one, Kacin!!
Oh my goodness! This is the shock that Cheryl felt when she saw the gash caused by the chicken that flew to the top of the fence! To heck with Mike the Headless Chicken, this is Eric the Headless Chicken Clipper. I'm so sorry to all involved, but I'm glad you recorded those incredible comments for future reference. I hope Eric recovers quickly and easily.
That is no small gash, I am sure it bled A LOT, and I am so proud that you didn't faint, LoLo. To E I send many wishes of a quick recovery and prayers of gladness that he did not get hurt worse!
I think I might pass out! I hope he's okay! I can't imagine that staples IN THE HEAD can ever feel good. Your boys make me laugh. They need to come over and play soon!
Oh wow! That mean tree! I love your story, though, kind of reminds me of a story I've heard before:) Hope he gets feeling better soon.
Holy crap! Those staples look nasty. I'll never look at my stapler the same again.
I would have lost it. . . I would not have even made to the garage let alone to ER. Then the staples. . .I would not have been able to drive home. Caleb got a wart taken off the other day and they used this little burning tool thingy and I had to excuse myself so I would be able to drive him home. I'm such a quease! Glad to know I'm not alone!
Sending healing thoughts your way.
I think that is the best blog you have ever done.... I love Kyler "Get up and do it yourself"
You write so well. We always enjoy your blog. Travis will come in and say, "Mom have you read Laura's blog yet?" It is something we look forward to.
Oh, and I forgot to say - Sorry for your pain Eric!
Here I was watching you guys go in and out this afternoon with no clue about Eric's injury. Holy cow! It's the mean brown chicken, right, that caused all of this? He's the first one up for a chicken fry!
Well, Eric, what side of the head are you parting your hair now? Sorry for your pain!!! Laura, you are one of the funniest writers. I love to read about your adventures and you tell them so well. Your boys are adorable and sooo funny.
That short story would sell more than a few copies!
Haha, that is very funny what the boys had to say. Not funny that Eric got hurt! Hope he feels better! Good story telling though! It sounds like "because a little bug that went kachoo"! :) You should publish!
