Mystery injuries...

How can a child who gets the tiniest bonk and screams bloody murder demanding ice and wanting to be held be the same child who has a bruised-blue fingernail at bedtime but won't say how it happened?! I pryed out that it has something to do with banging wood but he won't give details. It looks horrible and DH thinks the nail will shed... :bad:

 

It's amazing how the littlest of injuries create huge sobs and cries, but when you see them get hurt and they pick themselves up without a care, there is no crying involved?! My guess is that he was doing something he either knew he shouldn't have been doing or something he was really enjoying. I hope it looks better as the day progresses! I lost a nail when I was in 3rd grade.

 

Oh the personalities of each child It's a good thing they are different, think of how much crying and loving you would be doing if they both need attention with every little injury :lol:

 

Baffles me too!! Mine don't cry at all when they get hurt doing something they shouldn't. Well, I should say they don't cry until they see my face and then cry in fear. :laughing:

 

Yep, I have a very dramatic child when she knows you've witnessed her injury. She goes on and on about her "boo boo" requesting countless kisses. However, the other day I noticed her big toe nail was bruised underneath. I have no idea what happened but it looked so bad I was worried she might have broken her toe.

 

Beats me?!! Hope the nail survives! Sounds pretty painful!!

 

It'll become clear in a day or two what happened!! :lol:

Poor little dude's gonna be confused when his nail comes off! Probably, he'll think it's COOL! Well, with your luck anyhow!!
