While playing on the rocks outside of Grandma and Grandpa's house he slipped and fell into a cactus. As a result there were multiple "pokies" sticking out of Parkers feet. Naturally the screaming began and the medical personnel swooped in. It took two of us to hold him down while Grandpa, Grandma, and Aunt Brittany each removed the "pokies" from his foot.
Of course such a traumatic experience needed proper soothing and comfort. This was provided by Grandpa as he commenced in telling Parker how he one day fell into the cactus when he was a boy. Brittany provided medical attention by holding and putting a band-aid on his foot. Grandma provided the sock that Parker requested because apparently socks make everything feel better (it did for his baseball injury earlier this summer). Of course mom provided the wiping of tears and words of comfort.
The Aftermath:
Such a traumatic experience was not soon forgotten. Parker continued to nurse his foot and rehearse to everybody the incident. He spent the night wearing the sock and miraculously the next day was running around as if nothing happened.
He may forget, but it was a show that we may never forget
