Road rash on a scooter

Today was G's 5th grade party. It was their last hurrah celebration before summer comes and they sporadically see each other. It was held at a local park. They had the run of the place with all kinds of food and drinks and activities. The hub was out of town for the day at a soccer tourney with S, so the boy came with me. This park is a favorite of ours and a frequent scootering spot for the kids. He has a Razor scooter...nothing fancy, just two wheels and a lot of fun. Did several runs down a little hill that he has been on a hundred times. I guess the 101st time is the bad luck charm, because he came up to me and my friend A as we were discussing life and church and children. He was dragging his poor Razor behind him. He wasn't crying, but had a pained look on his face. After we took a look at his poor little elbow, we both agrred it looked painful:



The above picture is post shower which involved a fair amount of screaming. Bless his heart. In a little bit, I will rewrap it so it won't ooze all over his bed. Sorry. Gross but true. When I asked him how fast he was going, he estimated a good "40 to 50 MPH". So just beware if you get on a razor. That road rash rash is a pain. By the way, he also has it on both knees and his hip area where the waistband of his boxers were. Thank the good Lord helmets are not an option in our house and he had it on. Jeepers, kid.
