Mr Bump

Dear O'H dear and Lovely Tea Jenny,

When I woke up this morning…

The Prince: “Princess, I’ve had a little accident.”

Me: “Whaaaat?”

The Prince: I fell on the way home last night and I’ve really hurt my arm. I think I might have broken something.

Me (slightly relieved): “I thought you were going to tell me you’d sh1t the bed!”

A hospital visit confirmed a fractured elbow. It should take about 6 weeks to heal although thankfully he has a sling and not a cast but no driving for The Prince for 3 weeks means that work will be tricky.

On the way home, The Prince howled every time I went over a bump as it jostled his arm. By “howled,” I mean swore. Loudly.

Me: “I know it horrible but you need another word for when it hurts. You can’t shout [BAD WORD] in front of the kids…(paused for thought)… or [VERY BAD WORD]. Best to avoid that too!”
