How did she break a bone? Well by reading a book of course!!
No really I'm not even joking.
Last night while I cooked dinner the kids were sitting quietly reading books. They were actually behaving themselves really nicely.
When I asked them to pack away their books Miss 5 suddenly started screaming.
"It's dinner time, you can read again later if you really want to"
"Mummy I've hurt my finger" she screamed at me.
I had a look at her finger and she seemed fine, I asked how she did it "I was just reading and then I went to get up and my finger just twisted by itself."
I have no idea what that means but I gave her finger a rub and we sat down for dinner.
For the rest of the night she whinged and complained and nagged me about her bloody finger. That's pretty normal behvaiour for her. She's like the boy who cried wolf. 100times she tells me she's sick, when in fact she's not. But that one time she IS sick I don't believe her.
So off to bed she went and today we got up and spent the day exploring the nearby National Park. Climbing rocks, jumping around, bush walking. It was great fun but every now and then Kaitlyn said "mum, my finger hurts"
On the way home late this afternoon I had another look at her finger. It was pretty swollen (like, HUGE) and it was blue and purple and very bruised.
We made a detour to the hospital on the way home. The nurse declared a broken finger, taped it up and sent us home with an extra roll of tape. We are to keep Kaitlyn's finger taped to its neighbour finger for the next few days.
OOPS!!
That's what is so hard about having a kid that overreacts, whinges and 'cries wolf' you can never tell when it's for real or when it's fake.
Today was apparently one of those real ones!
All taped up on our way home.
Nice ring finger there Miss!!
