Oh dear, we've had our first injury of the year. During sports this afternoon one of my cubs stood a bit too close behind the batter and ended up being hit in the nose on a backswing. Ouch! <wince> Poor baby, he was looking positively Roman there for a while what with his nose all swollen but after a couple of hours the swelling began to recede while the bruising came out. Nothing's broken, thank heavens, and the paracetamol is working so he's not overly discomfitted but he's worried about being laughed at. Of course, it didn't help that his brother skipped ahead of us at hometime telling everyone about the accident. <rolls eyes> There was no malice in the action, he was genuinely concerned, but his brother hates being singled out and was getting very defensive. He felt better after some jelly beans, though. : ) (Heh, when I was little and not feeling well, if my mum had to go to the chemist to get medicine she inevitably bought me a little bag of jelly beans. Made being sick not quite so bad...)
Anyway, I think the injured cub will be well enough to go to school tomorrow, we'll see how he feels in the morning...
