the joys of being a daughter to a woman who already has 2 boys

Hannah - (running in from outside screaming and whaling around the room) I FELL OFF MY SCOOTER AND CAN'T BEND MY ELBOW!!! did you get the full effect with all caps and bold??

me - well did you try to bend it?

Hannah - NO BECAUSE IT HURTS TOO BAD!

me - so how do you know you can't bend it??

Hannah - MOM, I THINK I MIGHT NEED THE ORTHOPEDIST!!!
HMMM.....can we say Academy Award winner.

me - let me look at it girl

me - no orthopedist, just some Neosprin and a band aid.

Hannah - STITCHES?!!!

me - no child, NEOSPRIN.

Hannah - can I watch you put the band aid on it?

me - you might not want to, you know with all the blood and stuff :)

Hannah - BLOOD, YOU SAID NO STITCHES!

me - I'm already done, let's wash your face and get some water.

Hannah - OK, can you wash my face and help me drink my water, I can't bend my arm remember?

me - SIGH.... of course, after I clean up all your skin and blood of my floor :)

Don't worry after I finished torturing her, I gave her ice cream.
And let me tell you home girl could bend that arm for the creamy goodness of Breyers Cookies and Cream, All Natural of course.
