"What happened?"
"I was riding L's rip stick and I had a slingshot around my neck. I fell off and the slingshot flew up and hit me in the eye. My eye was blurry at first but I can see just fine now."
Really?!! The first time ever that you attempt to ride a rip stick (kind of like a skateboard but it requires even more balance and finesse) and you decide that a slingshot around your neck is a good idea?
He has a nasty scratch above his eye and one below it and the eye itself is kind of red. I did a vision test and he seems ok, but really, sometimes I wonder about these kids of mine. I did instill a "no slingshot" rule, which I'm thinking now that we've probably gone over before. I asked H if at any point he thought, "Hmm, maybe my mom wouldn't want me to do this." He said no.
I think I need to work harder to instill the fear of their mom in these kids.

They're going to kill us all, that is, if they don't kill themselves first. CW decided to slide down the banister last night and ended up falling down the stairs and sending his glasses flying in one direction and his body in another. And I'm pretty sure he did it at least in part to avoid doing his dishes. No slingshots sounds like a rule we may eventually need in our house. I'm still trying to convince Z why a cross bow isn't a birthday gift I'm comfortable with. Oh my! Glad H survived his boyish lapse in judgement. Hope you do too!
I am laughing because you have reminded me that all boys are the same. Brilliant. I laughed out loud at the idea of slingshot around his neck. As if that's the most logical place to keep it. ;)
Helmets people...at all times and in all places...protective gear always..protective goggles worn always, for those just in case moments when they forget how frightened they are of their above mentioned scary mother and put a sling shot around their necks while riding crazy skateboards!
