Darn that child. I don't like it when the nurse calls me from school to tell me I need to come get my child to take her to the dr as she hurt herself doing a cartwheel in PE. Words arm making a popping sound do not warm the heart.
So to the dr we went. She strained/ sprained her elbow. No break (there is someone at least looking out for her). So she is in a sling. Of course that means no finishing the swimming season. Tonight and Saturday were the last two meets. She also is out of PE until she goes to the dr again next friday.
Now after the appointment I took her back to school (I am so mean). I didn't think anything of this situation until someone at work tonight asked me how she hurt it. I told her and she asked if they were doing that in gym or was she messing around. Can you believe I had not even considered that as a possibility? I told the other person I probably didn't want to know. But of course since the thought was now in my head I had to know. Yep you guessed it she was messing around. They don't do any tumbling in this high school for PE. It took a great deal for me not to blow a gasket.
easy child doesn't want to work on Saturday because it is her right arm and she is right handed. I told her before I even knew that it was her messing around that she needed to at least try. Oh you know Saturday morning I will be up and ready to deliver her to work.
I know accidents happen and kids will be kids but that just chaffs my behind.
