bang your head

somebody mentioned to me the other day that most of my "family" posts seem to focus on my seven-year-old daughter. fair enough. so what can i say then about my devilishly-cute two-year-old munchkin? well, let's see. she eats alot. she cries alot. she laughs alot. she's very possessive. she's very outgoing. she's very sneaky. oh, and she bumps her head alot. yes, that's right. she bumps her head alot. "how so?" you may be asking. well, there's really no other way of putting it. my two-year-old daughter accidentally knocks her head against mostly immovable objects on a fairly consistent basis. "how often?" you may be asking. uh... pretty much every few days or so. "and why is this?" you may be asking. uh... i'm not really sure. after all, it's not as though i encourage this sort of behaviour amongst my children. "and where does this occur?" you may be asking. well, let's investigate, shall we? today, in our underground parking garage, she banged her head on my car door after i had popped it open to let her in. she was staring at her miniature dora doll as she ambled towards my vehicle and before i knew it, her head had made contact with the hard, shiny side of my rear door. no harm done, but still. a few days ago, she was strolling through our condo lobby when suddenly, and for no apparent reason, she decided to close her eyes in a futile attempt to simulate blindness. within a few seconds, her head had made contact with the fibreglass palm tree adorning our entrance. and a few days before that, she was practising her backward saunter (foreshadowing) in the frozen food section at metro when, without warning, a clueless shopper decided to pry open one of those full-length freezer doors just as she was making a fly-by. predictably, her head made contact with the frosty glass pane, the section of the door, somewhat ironically, that she usually scribbles her happy faces on once the frost has had a chance to accumulate. and what is a doting father to make of all this highly imprudent and largely avoidable head trauma? uh...

in case you haven't noticed, i love a good pun: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vJChh7ghGnE
