July 20, 2007 - Goose Egg

Picture this... A beautiful summer day in New Jersey. My mom came up for the day and we went for a lovely walk in a local park. We came home and Erin and Molly spent some time cooling off playing in the sprinkler in the back yard. Everything was going great until Erin bent down to pet Molly and Molly decided that would be a great time to jump up. Yep, you guessed it. Molly's rock-hard noggin hit Erin's not-so-hard forehead, and an instant goose egg appeared (along with howling, inconsolable tears). Not fun. Poor kid... She was a good-enough sport to give me a half smile when I took a picture of it, but I really felt for her. Ouch.
