Ashton's Accident(s)

I have been receiving phone calls, that I have a feeling will keep happening. I have 3 boys after all! Last year I received a phone call, it went something like this:

"Hello, Mrs. Likes?"

"Yes."

"This is Sheila, the nurse at Shadow Hills, I was just calling to let you know that Ashton will not be coming home, looking the same as when he left."

"Uh, um . . . . okay."

I mean really how am I supposed to respond to that!

He was playing wall ball on the playground and he fell on the asphalt. His injuries were on his face. Sorry no pictures. It wasn't pretty, but it wasn't terrible. Well, then in the spring I get another phone call, just like this one. But this time another little boy scratched him with a lunch card. When I got to school to pick up Ashton, you could barely see the scratch! I wouldn't have even asked what happened, had they not called! But it was really close to his eye, and the other boy was having a hard time keeping his hands to himself. So when he used his lunch card "as a weapon", he ended up with the principal. Ashton was fine, again no pictures, this time nothing to look at anyway! So on to the real story! TODAY the phone rings at 8:45 am(the same time the morning bell rings at school):

"Hello, Mrs. Likes?"

"Yes?"

"This is Sheila, the nurse at Shadow Hills. I was calling to let you know Ashton was pushed into the cement wall, and has some severe scratches on his face. He would like to come home. I don't blame him, they are bad. Could you come pick him up?"

"Yeah, I'm on my way."

When I got there I asked what happened. He was playing Wall Ball before school (it was snowing this morning), he and another boy went after the ball at the same time and he was knocked into the school building. OUCH! I did get a picture this time. It looks like paint, but it's not! Now that it's been a few hours, he's getting a nice purple bruise under his eye! No fun! He couldn't even eat lunch, it hurt to open his mouth.

Gotta LOVE boys! But not wall ball!
