that’s abu’s foot. this is a common occurrence in our household, so not to worry. we have a bone contusion which is not a fracture but deserves a plaster to be on the safer side.<\/p>\n
so be it.<\/p>\n
there’s more to this post than just “look, he hurt his foot.”<\/p>\n
now, just because it\u2019s a common occurrence doesn’t mean we deprive the children of our tender, loving care, ok? so, 4-5 hours in the last couple of nights have been spent listening to “ow, ow, ow it hurts” now, how it decides to hurt only at night, has always been a mystery.<\/p>\n
how?<\/strong> the day before yesterday, abu, rabad and a couple of friends from the building, t-man and little-terror-a, were playing a game of “let’s break this huge, heavy loose tile into smaller pieces by throwing it on the floor” and one of the pointed pieces in t-man’s hands ended up on abu’s foot. of course, i tried to stop them, but a little too late.<\/p>\n anyhow, last evening i decided that i need to go for my walk and its high time (as the doctor recommends) that abu start walking around. i use my usual line, “i’m going down for a walk, you can join me or stay at home by yourself” usually this means, both of them come wagging behind and start playing with their friends when they reach down.<\/p>\n abu – ma you go, i will stay home alone…<\/p>\n rabad – i’ll stay with him, don’t worry. he’ll take care of me<\/p>\n me – uhhh…he needs to be taken care of, who’ll do that?<\/p>\n totally expecting an “aaaaawww” moment, i had a smile in my mind.<\/p>\n rabad – t-man! we’ve called him, he’s coming over in 5 minutes…<\/p>\n yep! the same t-man!!!<\/p>\n * * * ps2. t-man was very, very apologetic immediately after he threw the tile and much later too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" that’s abu’s foot. this is a common occurrence in our household, so not to worry. we have a bone contusion which is not a fracture but deserves a plaster to be on the safer side. so be it. there’s more to this post than just “look, he hurt his foot.” now, just because it\u2019s a […Read More…]<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[21,6,3],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/smritiweb.com\/abu-rabad\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/smritiweb.com\/abu-rabad\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/smritiweb.com\/abu-rabad\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smritiweb.com\/abu-rabad\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smritiweb.com\/abu-rabad\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=20"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/smritiweb.com\/abu-rabad\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":21,"href":"https:\/\/smritiweb.com\/abu-rabad\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20\/revisions\/21"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/smritiweb.com\/abu-rabad\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smritiweb.com\/abu-rabad\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=20"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smritiweb.com\/abu-rabad\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=20"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
\nps1. i think, they have set it in their mind, that older person takes care of younger, and t-man is few months older. outlook needs to change…<\/p>\n
