C. did something very much like that, when he tripped over a box at my parents' house a few years ago.

His was the middle of the afternoon and there was a coffee table involved.

Nothing bleeds like a head-wound.

Geez, I was two, maybe three when it happened, and I still remember it vividly.

I got to go play at my babysitter's house with her kids, and he disappeared for a few hours.

Hope the NTS is feeling better.

Oh, he's quite normal. About five minutes after it happened, he was sitting on my lap while I applied a wet washcloth to his cut, and he started getting concerned that the water would get on his dress. That was when I knew he was going to be JUST FINE.

Today, he's tearing around the house on his scooter. Just looking for more injury.
