the big bang




last month we pulled into the parking lot of a BBQ joint to grab some
 take-out with the in-laws.
while grandma was ordering inside, we all waited in the car.
 then the boy decided he wanted to go inside too. he jumped out of the car and ran full force to meet grandma. except he didn't see the glass door in between them!
he hit the door with his head and fell backwards. it was the loudest bang!
adrenaline rushed in and i ran to him as fast as possible. i was seriously prepared for blood, knocked out teeth, or a broken nose
because the door was completely cracked up and down.
the crack's orgin was right at the level of his head.
he stood up and nothing.
no blood
no bruise
nothing broken
nada!

he screamed for about 2 minutes, but quickly calmed down when the store manager brought him a sucker.




talk about traumatic huh?
