No Such Luck

So the third one happened. It wasn't me though. It was Sunshine. This morning Husband and the girls went out to watch their baby cousins swim lesson. I just got on the phone with my girlfriend when all this yelling started. Husband was yelling for Sunshine. I was wondering what the heck all the yelling was about and then I heard Sunshine yelling/crying for me and let me tell you, if you are a parent, you will know that it is the single most worst thing you can hear - your child screaming, crying in pain. It is gut wrenching.

She had got her fingers caught in the car door. Her sister didn't know she was coming out behind her and slammed the door shut. On top of that it locked as it shut. I didn't see it but my imagination makes me cringe everytime i think about it. Her sister was trying to pull the door open. Her father was on the other side trying to unlock it - all the while her poor fingers were caught in the door. It must have felt like an eternity .

We quickly put them under cold water and then ice. Fortunately, no fingers were broken and only a small purple dot on the middle finger were a blood vessel broke.

After all the commotion settled down I loudly announced that that was it! That was the third and final accident to happen. No more, I can't take it. Everyone be careful!
