So, which one would *you* choose?

Hypothetically speaking, let's say you had a family reunion this week. And let's say that *most* of the family was staying at your folks' house for the duration, but not you because you have a hypothetical baby, but you did let your hypothetical older child sleep over. And ... well, let's say two of your hypothetical nephews broke their arms the same day, no less, although doing different activities several hours apart. And neither one was doing something crazy like bungee jumping though, just hypothetically falling out of swings and off scooter. Would you start worrying about your hypothetical kid (who is the same age as both hypothetically broken nephews) breaking her arm/leg/head?

Or, since bad things supposedly come in threes, would you (hypothetically) push one of your other nephews/nieces down a flight of stairs to spare your kid the pain? And if you were to do that, and you had 9 other hypothetical nieces/nephews to choose from, which one would you choose?

All hypothetically speaking, of course.

Broken arms build character. Not that you should push your or anyone's hypothetical kid(s) down the stairs, I just wouldn't mess with fate. If it's meant to be, it's meant to be.

haha. I hope you took that in a spirit of humor, and not meanness. Although, I'd meant to post a post about your DSs because the older one is so helpful and the second one is my favorite because he told me I'm not fat, soooo ... they wouldn't have been my hypothetical choices anyway.

Bwwwwaaaaahaaaaahaaaaaa! Especially the logic of pushing another cousin so the "trials come in threes" saying could be fulfilled and save your kid.

LOL! *wipes tears from eyes*

Ooh, ooh, and having to choose. I'd choose depending on who's parent would be less furious with you....

So I'm assuming the cousins made it through the weekend w/ no more broken appendages? I hope? Yes???
