Who put that sidewalk there?

[katernater]

I fell when I was running tonight (in front of a crowd of middle schoolers, of course) and injured the hell out of my elbow and knee while attempting to break my fall. I was pretty raw about it until Todd showed up with a five pound bag of homemade sugar-coated donuts from the local fair. That helped. Well, the donuts in addition to the Motrin.

Mom: After looking at my elbow. "...You should probably cover that up when you go in to work tomorrow."

Me: Kind of proud. "It's that gross-looking, huh? Maybe I should leave it uncovered. I bet I could find a Pantone colour chip to match it to. We could incorporate the colour in a design for, like, something insanely medical."

Mom: A 'Mom Look.'

Me: "......Or I could put a Band-Aid on it. That works, too."

"Are you all right? "
"No, it's OK. My ass broke the fall. "

You know what they need? Motrin-laced donuts. Kill two birds with one stone.

Poor, dear Kate. <3 I'm glad you decided to take your Motrin and crawl into bed with your show like you said you'd planned. And Todd and his donuts are definitely a pleasant and uplifting thing.

Oh, mothers. XD The looks they give us. But the Pantone colour chip is a very amusing idea. I love the way your mind works.

<3<3 Love, dear. I hope it's feeling better by work time tomorrow!

Eric is bursting with pride that Kate made a pantone reference in every day life.

*swoons*

Hey, Todd, WHERE ARE MY FUCKING DONUTS!?

Todd, I believe the proper response is: WHERE IS YOUR FUCKING VAGINA, ERIC?

... a little coaching never hurt anyone ... ; )

A Mom Look.

Ack, I can envision my Mum's "Mom Look" right this instant. It's full of doubt and WTF?

Hope your elbow is okay! ;)
