Husbands and Wives: Preventing Injuries
Feb
2
2011
Welcome back to another edition of Husbands and Wives. In today’s episode, we will explore how each party handles children who are at risk of injury.
Case #1: The Bunk Bed
Parent A: “The kids are jumping off the top bunk and landing on the mattress on the floor.”
Parent B: “Yeah, I told them no flips.”
Question: Which parent (A or B) is the husband and which is the wife?
Case #2: The Swingset
The scene: a playground. The dilemma: a child is swinging on the swingset and is contemplating an airborne exit. Both parents yell something to the child at the same time.
Parent A: “Don’t jump off!”
Parent B: “Land on your feet!”
Question: Which parent (A or B) is the husband and which is the wife?
Okay, we’re out of time for today. Remember to tune in next time to Some Blog Site for more Husbands and Wives!
He who is at ease holds calamity in contempt,As prepared for those whose feet slip.

Since we’re talking you two, both scenarios are: Husband A, Wife B.

Why no flips? Flips are flippin’ fun.

I was involved in only one of the conversations – the other one I just observed another family.

A truly overcautious parent would never have approved bunk beds in the first place.
I’m just sayin’.

Bunk beds are awesome!
I never got to sleep on them, but my two younger brothers did since they shared a room.
If I heard a THUMP! at night, I’d sit up, smile and say, “Yes! Another one bites the dust!”
I’m a good big brother.
