Grayson versus the Coax Cable


You know what's funny about children (and by "funny" I mean "interesting") Its that no matter how baby proof you think your house is, a baby will always find the thing that he should not be messing with and that can ultimately result in a 1 inch laceration to the face. In this case it was the coaxial cable sticking out of the wall. While he was using the wall to assist himself walk, he fell sideways and missed his eye by less then 1 cm. So after Grayson started screaming the way the Detroit Lions fans have been screaming all year, Grayson's mother (A.K.A. the fastest woman on earth) left a flame trail from the bedroom to get to her now bloody baby boy as well as multi tasking the ability to interrogate me on the mornings events, call the doctor and ask when the soonest we could be seen, as well as yell at me and call me names some of which I am still trying to look up their meaning. But as my mother in law pointed out, having a son, this will definitely not be the last time Grayson gets hurt and we just have to make sure that we are always in good supply of Neosporin.  So for the first time, Grayson lost this fight. Operation "Retinal Coax" was not a success.

Like father like son. Even though the cut is in the same place lets remember that yours was from running around and sliding on the floor of the cafeteria at Robertsville Elementary School during my brownie meeting.
