My mom read last week’s blog post, and reminisced upon a tale of a teeter totter, giant cacti, and my older brother Tom (3 years old at the time).
When I was 2, we lived in Tucson, Arizona. I don’t remember much except that the spiders were HUGE. (You don’t forget things like that.) But mom said there was a teeter-totter in the backyard, which I imagine looked like this:
One day Tom was playing on the teeter-totter
and got his leg twisted beneath it.
He had a good cry, and then refused to walk after that. Mom had to carry him everywhere.
For a week she carried him, and then worried that he might have actually broken his leg, she took him to the doctor.
The doctor looked at Tom’s leg, then went to his drawer
where he pulled out an uninflated balloon. (Hahaha. Those were the days.)
He said:
You guessed it.
I hear kids will do this to you your WHOLE LIFE.
