Broken bones?

My oldest son broke something once (it was so long ago, I forget) and my
oldest daughter just broke her forearm this summer.  And I broke my foot
(twice, in the same place) as a kid.

Gashes and teeth we know about.  My one daughter (Kid #3) has had more than
her oldest brother - she isn't a klutz, she's a tomboy and doesn't know
when she's passed her limits until "OUCH - THAT HURTS!"

Knocked out teeth we know.  One boy (Kid #5) did a Superman jump out of his
high chair (we later resorted to TYING him in - the factory safety belt
latch was obviously insufficient) and took out two teeth.  A few months
later Kid #3 chases him down the hall out into the living room into the
OUCH coffee table - gash on forehead (she (#3) went for stitches a few days
earlier...) - and of course, my wife and I happen to be taking our walk
around the block at the time and the baby sitter wasn't doing his job too
well....  A couple days later, #3 carries #5 around (she isn't allowed to
do this) and drops him. On the same coffee table.  And knocks out another
tooth.  You know what - we took him to the same dentist that I went to when
I knocked my teeth out at a kid.  Twice.

Kids are expensive.

Cold water removes wet blood.  Bleach does OK on dry blood, but not
perfect.  You usually trash whatever it dries on.

Hey - that stain on the floor will always be something to talk about!
