Tag tripped the Boy last week, sweeping his feet out from under him and causing a nice little hairline fracture to his elbow. It was a couple of days before I realized it was probably broken and took him to the ER. He was a trooper and was pretty excited about the attention the sling afforded him�for all of one whole day. Now he�s totally over it and wants me to vacuum it out all the time to cool it off � a trick my mom used when I broke my thumb.

So in honor of my kid�s jillionth trip to the ER (how sad is it that we know our way back to the radiology department?), this one�s for him.

Oh, and I�m changing the Boy�s name to Boy Wonder because he asks such awesome questions all the time. Check it out. And remember to preface every question regardless of subject matter with a weighty and thoughtful, �Mom?� and my response, �Yes?�

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Boy Wonder: If you were in the hottest oven in the whole wide world�um�could you fill up a WHOLE GLASS with sweat?

Boy Wonder: How come dogs have thumbs, but they never use them?

Boy Wonder: If you had the BIGGEST table in the whole wide world, and you, um, put it�um, on�an elephant�s back? Would the elephant fall over?

Boy Wonder: (calling from the bathroom) Mom! I�m pooping acid!
