Ah yes, I remember it well.
He was maybe, I dunno, 3ish. Was on the couch in the den being silly with the daughter of a friend, maybe 5 or 6 y/o. Somehow my child manages to topple off the couch ... right into the corner of a round coffee table. You wouldn't think that's exactly possible but it was. The rounded edge caught him perfectly in/on his eyebrow & he bled like a heavyweight.
Straight to the E.R. where we had our first encounter with the new procedures designed (presumably) to spot abuse. The doctor asks our son how he got hurt - while sternly motioning us with his arm to not answer - and my 3 year old, through the tears says
"I was clowning."
