My farmer cousins used to get a great 'city' education when we got

They went back to Houston on Monday. Didn't seem like he was all that
bothered with it, as he was back to rough-housing again before they left.

A cut over the brow is close to the bone and it'll bleed like crazy. Glad
your son was none the worse for it.

I was out one night, playing poker with the 'guys'. I don't know why, but
one of the guys had to bring his wife and 3yo son with them. I thought
that if you can't afford a baby-sitter, you don't need to be playing penny
anti poker, but who am I to say that to him. Long story short, the kid was
in the bedroom, supposedly taking a nap when the most gawd-awful scream
came from that room. Come to find out that he had been using the bed as a
trampoline and had slipped and hit his head on the head board. He too had
cut his head open at the eyebrow and it took a few stitches to close it
up. A couple of days later, I saw him and he had two black eyes and a
swollen nose.
