Realer Life

HAPPY BIRTHDAY [livejournal.com profile] sugar_in!!!!


Well, I spent all night in the ER with my son and his injury from flirting. Let this be a lesson to you all.

A: Hospitals are dead boring.
B: All the Magazines are out of date.
C: The bathrooms are intimidating.
D: When you are flirting with a girl don't step down off a high curb and mess up your ankle. All the cops and firetrucks and ambulances are NOT cool.
E: Don't use the words... "McDonald's Would Really Be Comforting", because they are overdramatic and McDonald's comforts no one.
F: I hate clowns.

My son is fine, only laid up with a blow up toy cast and ice and a tv. Almost wish I'd busted my ankle.

So there you have it.
ja ne!

.....*facepalm* boys.

we had one at work break his ankle from stepping down off a bottom shelf. ....after we'd been climbing all over the place, on the shelves, on the machines, on the ladders, dragging 60lb boxes, all season long, 15 ft or more off the ground without incident, he manages to break his ankle (and get us all in trouble) over 6 inches.

then he broke it again, at a concert. he has been warned that if he breaks it again, we're shooting him in the head.

YIKES, that poor boy sounds jinxed =( How come you got in trouble because he broke his ankle?

[identity profile] klgaffney.livejournal.com 2006-03-01 12:36 pm (UTC)(link)
he's a DORK. the sad thing is, he's a skater--okay rollerblader, big difference. *rolls eyes* anyway. we all got in trouble because we aren't supposed to be climbing in the first place. but it's kinda hard to resist when there's too few ladders and they took one of our machines away.

...Boys will be boys I suppose. XD

*shivers* I hate clowns too.^^;;

XD Damn, I've tried pulling my mom's heart strings for the longest time. But never did I ask for McDonalds. Usually just chocolate or pastry's.

As for the flirting thing? My turn red and flail tactic seems to have done me well over the last few years. :P But somehow I don't think it would do to advice that one to your son.

[identity profile] sky-dark.livejournal.com 2006-02-28 10:48 pm (UTC)(link)
See, there was this McDonald's in the hospital, and it started out with...I'm hungry and graduated to his more elegant begging. I was not fooled. XD

He turns red and flails with ease XD I hope some girl finds it cute XD

he stepped off a curb and screwed up his ankle because he was FLIRTING? bwahahahaha! your son is a DORK. i hope the girl was suitably sympathetic, at least....

(and mcd's fries are comforting, so there.)

[identity profile] sky-dark.livejournal.com 2006-02-28 10:49 pm (UTC)(link)
He is Le Dork XD The apple doesn't fall far from the tree I suppose XD I hope she was sympathetic, I think he was embarrassed XD

[identity profile] crack-alchemist.livejournal.com 2006-02-28 02:52 pm (UTC)(link)
*headdesk*

is this what i have to look forward to with my lovely son???

I'm glad he's all right and I hope the girl was properly sympathetic... and that he at least got some digits out of the deal! LOL!

[identity profile] sky-dark.livejournal.com 2006-02-28 10:50 pm (UTC)(link)
YUP! Flirting and getting injured, all the guys do it XD I hope the girl was sympathetic XD I think he's talked ot her today on the phone XD

[identity profile] buttrflysteph.livejournal.com 2006-02-28 03:05 pm (UTC)(link)
"McDonald's Would Really Be Comforting"....

That's so J2. Very funny.

Poor kid though. How long does it take an ankle to heal?

[identity profile] sky-dark.livejournal.com 2006-02-28 10:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes it's very J2 =/ He's milking it for all it's worth. He won't be down long, he's already hobbling around

[identity profile] yumikoyoshihana.livejournal.com 2006-02-28 03:49 pm (UTC)(link)
*headdesk* ... oh my


Wow... what a mood killer. your flirting, and then you break your ankle..... wow

[identity profile] sky-dark.livejournal.com 2006-02-28 10:52 pm (UTC)(link)
LOL, yeah tell me about it XD

[identity profile] black-wing-cat.livejournal.com 2006-02-28 03:54 pm (UTC)(link)
-pets and gives cookie- Gomen nasai Sky-sama. That has to suck. I'm scared of hospitals. But at least he's okay ^-^

[identity profile] sky-dark.livejournal.com 2006-02-28 10:53 pm (UTC)(link)
It's ok hon, he's fine! It was just an adventure! I was boogled at all the emergency vehicles that showed up. XD

[identity profile] myroughdraft.livejournal.com 2006-02-28 04:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Hah, I have to go to work in 2.5 hours. I work at a hospital. I disagree that it's boring, and I don't even work in a trauma/emergency setting XD I work with old people!

[identity profile] sky-dark.livejournal.com 2006-02-28 11:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, it's not boring for you because you have something to do. For us that have to sit there and stare at walls, it's boring XD

[identity profile] mikkeneko.livejournal.com 2006-02-28 04:29 pm (UTC)(link)
I still say you should have made him lay up in an uncomfortable chair as a lesson. Unless he was already appropriately shaken and contrite and in-need-of-mom-comfort-but-not-wanting-to-admit it. >_>

[identity profile] sky-dark.livejournal.com 2006-02-28 11:05 pm (UTC)(link)
He's in the MOM BABY ME MODE, this morning he was mournful I left him to go to work XD

*snicker*

[identity profile] sky-dark.livejournal.com 2006-02-28 11:06 pm (UTC)(link)
*snerk* OMG, ICON LOVE =D

[identity profile] panda--lily.livejournal.com 2006-02-28 08:08 pm (UTC)(link)
... *snakrs* Oh, God, I shouldn't find your son's injuries entertaining. xD But, seriously. Coming from a sixteen year old girl, we like it when guys are silly and clumsy. It's adorable. Why do you think so many people heart Al from FMA? *chuckles*

If it were me, I would at least give him one date. *grins* Well-wishes to your son.

[identity profile] sky-dark.livejournal.com 2006-02-28 11:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Well then she should like him a LOT XD. He's 17 and he got dumped not to long ago, so he's making up to a new girl now XD I hope she does give him a date, I know he called her today and they talked on the phone.

[identity profile] cryogenia.livejournal.com 2006-02-28 09:07 pm (UTC)(link)
O.O Glad to hear he's okay!!!

[identity profile] sky-dark.livejournal.com 2006-02-28 11:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah he's fine! =D

[identity profile] ipitydaf00l.livejournal.com 2006-02-28 09:16 pm (UTC)(link)
You know, I thought of this last night. I don't know how I've made it all these 23 years without a broken something. I've done some rather crazy things without incident. *coughs*

Tell him it'll be fine, we have all have those embarassing moments when it involves a potential partner. Heck, sometimes you even get pity love because of being injured. Wait, don't let him know that...

McDonalds...ick. The only time I like McDonalds is for breakfast.

[identity profile] sky-dark.livejournal.com 2006-02-28 11:12 pm (UTC)(link)
heh..I broke both arms...at once XD I was around 12 at the time. So I guess he gets it naturally!

He's already talked to the girl he was flirting with today, maybe he'll get a pity date XD

Yeah, McDonald's is ick...but of course I stopped and got him a double quarter pounder on the way home XD

[identity profile] ipitydaf00l.livejournal.com 2006-03-01 01:47 am (UTC)(link)
But of course! That's your child. Part of the reason why I spent yesterday listening to SpongeBob, cooking eggs, and chicken noodle soup. Because some little girl asked for it. (Or the fact that I spent 3/4ths of the day carrying around an extra 26 pounds because of "hold me hold me" pleas.)

[identity profile] techno4tomcats.livejournal.com 2006-02-28 09:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Glad he's okay. Hospitals wig me out, in an odd and amusing way. I think it's the smell. XD

[identity profile] sky-dark.livejournal.com 2006-02-28 11:13 pm (UTC)(link)
He's fine! Hospitals just make me oh so bored XD

[identity profile] techno4tomcats.livejournal.com 2006-03-01 02:13 am (UTC)(link)
The eyes....they follow meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[identity profile] nightfireblaze.livejournal.com 2006-02-28 11:18 pm (UTC)(link)
I can remember one time when I had to stay at a hospital for two weeks cause I got sick er something not sure what it was so I know the pain of hospital boredom. Then again I was only 5 or 6 and it didn't feel like a full two weeks... >_>

I've always hated magazines, public bathrooms, and McDonald's. Clowns never interested me but I've never feared/hated them.

Other than that, *head/desk* boys.

[identity profile] sky-dark.livejournal.com 2006-03-01 12:23 am (UTC)(link)
Poor baby! Two weeks is ICK *pets* I'm glad you know my pain.

Yes...boy =/

[identity profile] nightfireblaze.livejournal.com 2006-03-01 12:29 am (UTC)(link)
I didn't think to ask or ever had the ability to remember what it was all I know is that a threw up blood :/
Thanks for caring ^_^
(I'm glad my older brother is more into games than girls)

[identity profile] reverend-mother.livejournal.com 2006-02-28 11:36 pm (UTC)(link)
OMG he sure is a dork (so says the mother of another lovely dork and one in the making :D ) and we love them so, don't we? hehehehe

I gotta love when mine try the mom baby me pleeeeeeeeze thing. They know it doesn't work (unless they really are sick or in unbearable pain) but still have to try :P

He'll get the date,just tell him not to try that tactic again LOL

[identity profile] sky-dark.livejournal.com 2006-03-01 12:24 am (UTC)(link)
He is SUCH a dork XD And yes, wouldn't have him any other way XD He will milk this for all it's work, he is hobbling around the house pitifully at this moment and moaning about how horrible it would be to have to go to school tomorrow XD Yes, I don't think my heart could take this method of dating XD

[identity profile] pescatore.livejournal.com 2006-03-01 12:57 am (UTC)(link)
aw...sorry to hear that..
I hope he gets feeling better real soon..

(Anonymous) 2006-03-01 01:12 am (UTC)(link)
If it comforts you, one of my students once tried to flirt with a girl by putting his leg through one of those double-paned school windows lined with wire. Then he made the bigger mistake of pulling it back out. He was wearing shorts. You know what's not cute? 93 stitches. At least it sounds like your boy didn't leave any bits of himself behind.

Hope he feels better.

[identity profile] kiwi-kero.livejournal.com 2006-03-01 05:09 am (UTC)(link)
Wow, that's an impressive injury. I don't think I've ever managed any serious flirting injuries, but I sprained my finger by sitting on it once, and I dislocated my right arm by getting stuck between a bed and a wall with a door pinning me down (don't ask). I hope he gets better soon, and you don't have to put up with the piteous moaning too long. :3

...I fecking hate clowns too. ^^;

[identity profile] sugar-in.livejournal.com 2006-03-02 03:04 am (UTC)(link)
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!?!

How did I miss this? I hid from the internet for three days, that's how. I am unexpectedly far from home, but go back tomorrow and will be back committing random absurdities in the church by the weekend.

Thank you.

lulz to your son. poor kid, he and i share a penchant for klutz-dom. just tell him to steer clear of doorknobs. ;)

[identity profile] xx---silhouette.livejournal.com 2006-03-02 07:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Woah I just saw this today! O__O;; I hope his ankle is doing better. Sorry I didn't get to this sooner, my life is getting a bit hectic.
Some reason it sounds like something that would happen to me x___X;;;
