Parents: sometimes we just have to laugh at our kids...

So, what are your funny kid stories?

Tonight, I was home, peacefully blissful alone, as my son was at the Y with a friend (our Y has a Jr. High night every Friday) before a sleep over with said friend. Phone rang..and it was the Y...I was afraid of what I would hear.

Turned out, my son got a bloody nose while in a dancing thing at youth night at the Y. His face hit the wall...They had to call since it involved blood. After my speaking to him, and learning it was no big deal per his assessment, I asked to speak to the worker again. I told her that I wanted her to tell me if she felt like it was a big enough issue for me to pick him up and skip the planned sleepover.

She chuckled and said, "No, it is not big thing at all... He just needs to work on his dancing skills."

I don't know if it was relief or seeing the humor in it, but I laughed. A lot.

Cute story RedBedroom.

When my daughter was about eighteen months old, she was playing near the stairs and the baby gate wasn't fastened. Long story short, she tumbled down the stairs. Wasn't many, only about five or six narrow steps. Her mother and I freaked out as we raced to get her. When we briefly stopped at the top of the stairs, my daughter is looking up at us with an 'embarrassed' look on her face, giggling ever so slightly. She didn't hurt herself, and I think felt a little guilty for playing where she wasn't supposed to.
