So my 20-month-old son decided to climb on the back of the couch while I had my laptop out. His balance isn't as good as his courage leads him to believe. Faced with either letting him fall nearly 4 feet straight back onto the hardwood floors or holding onto my laptop, I lunged to grab the little guy's leg and my laptop skidded sideways off my lap. The corner of the display hit the floor with a gut-wrenching crack.
My husband is kind of a tech genius (he's already talking about swapping out the display...) so I'm waiting for him to get home to tell me how bad it is. But I'm guessing I'll be offline for a bit while we figure it out.
I made the right choice. Right?
if he were a vampire, it would've been okay. but otherwise, saving the kid is always the best bet :)
ReplyDeleteNot a vampire. Although I'd believe part wolf. That would explain the wildness at least :) Computers are replaceable. Little boys aren't.
DeleteI'll just say this - you are a better mother than I. My dad's words ring in my ears...."Kids bounce."
ReplyDeleteAs it hit, I actually thought, "Huh, I picked him. Always wondered if I would..."
DeleteMaybe I should just strap a helmet on his head and call it a day :)
Of course you did!
ReplyDeleteYour guy was playing Superman lol God, kids are troublesome!
His favorite is "bat-guy" - he runs around singing the theme song from the old tv show! I love his sense of adventure. I don't always love the results...
DeleteI'm so scared that'll happen to my youngest. She's three and she thinks climbing on the back of the couch and standing is so much fun. Not for me!
ReplyDeleteDaredevils, all of them! Mamas earn their grey hairs :)
DeleteI´m with Jessica on this. Unless you know your kid has some superpowers, it´s always safe to pick him :-)
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'm pretty fond of the little guy. Probably best to keep him safe :)
