Otherwise known as the LRI. A LRI as not an easy thing to obtain. Snapping pieces together you could pinch your skin between them. Choking on legos is a wide spread issue with the youngsters. Another lego related injury comes from stepping on one thus causing great pain and the use of many four letter words. There is one category that is so rare the DoLRIM (diganosis of lego related injuries manual) does not at this time even have an entry for. That is the snapping shot injury. A snapping shot injury occurs when a frustrated person forcibly snaps 2 lego pieces together in such a way that is causes one lego brick to shoot up into the air and nail the person right in the lip. That person can recieve a.) a bloody lip b.) a weeping bloody flesh wound just above the lip and between the nose. c.) cuts and abrasions upon the inside of the lip from pressure on the outside of the injury d.) great amounts of embarrassment from ones peers. Now some say this type of LRI does not exist. My wife however would disagree with you as she obtained such an injury this past Saturday. Its ok love it will be ok, no one ever reads this blog anyway.
We just started to give Noah access to the television this summer. I realize that I have been lax in monitoring what he watches. I have locked him out of most channels except history and cartoon ones. Given today’s TV standards I should still monitor more than that. This morning I was hit with the TV influence upside the head. I was getting some coffee when he blasted me with this bit of wisdom. He asked if he could have breakfast and I told him that I would make it after I finished pouring my coffee. To that he responded - “You have to act now because operators are standing by.” What more could do but to make him some waffles.
