BRICK

Remember when I told you we lived on a safe cul-de-sac?  Well, I've got another story that may create some doubt.

Kelsey was outside playing with the kids next door. These boys were totally out of control.  They convinced Kelsey to help "polish" their grandma's car . . . with sand!  Grandma was none to pleased with that wax job, needless to say.  The car was a mess and I never did get the whole story.  Was K a participant or an observer?  One will never know.

Those same two boys and Kelsey were playing Power Rangers out in our driveway one evening.  The boys dad was working on their patio and had old bricks stacked in their side yard.

At some point, the kids decided to nab a brick.  They were going to see who could throw it the highest.  The first try was up, up and away and down, down, down, grazing Kelsey's head.

She ended up with a pretty good sized bump, but was otherwise unharmed, thankfully.

I'm surprised child services was never called on me.
