    True New Yorker right here.

    NEW YORK -- A Manhattan woman is suing her own nephew after the excited 8-year-old's hug allegedly caused her to fall and break her wrist.

    Jennifer Connell testified against Sean Tarala, who is now 12 years old, on Friday in Westport court. Tarala, accompanied by his father, Michael Tarala, appeared confused during a hearing Friday, according to the ctpost. The boy lost his mother, Lisa Tarala, when she died last year.

    Connell, a 54-year-old human resources manager, claims Tarala, of Westport, was negligent and careless, and is suing her young relative for a six-figure sum.

    The hug happened March 18, 2011 when Connell showed up at the Taralas' Westport home for the boy's birthday. Sean was riding his brand-new red bike when he noticed his aunt, and came running, shouting, "Auntie Jen, Auntie Jen," according to court records.

    Connell's 50-pound nephew jumped into her arms, sending the two tumbling to the ground, she testified. At the time, Connell said, she was injured but "it was his birthday party and I didn't want to upset him," according to the paper.

    Connell, who doesn't have children of her own, says her life in a third-floor Manhattan walk-up has been "very difficult" since that day.

    Her social life has taken a serious hit as well, she says, "I was at a party recently, and it was difficult to hold my hors d'oeuvre plate," Connell said.

    Connell is suing her nephew for $127,000, claiming that "a reasonable eight years(sic) old under those circumstances would know or should have known that a forceful greeting such as the one delivered by the defendant to the plaintiff could cause the harms and losses suffered by the plaintiff."

                  Well they aren't really doing anything themselves. I would use a Dr Pepper phone as long as I got free diet dr pepper and all flavors where ever I was at.

                      Now the whole reason for the lawsuit may be because her medical insurance wasn't going to pay. Accidents happen, but I never understood why you should pay for someone who gets hurt on your property if you didn't cause it. Medical insurance companies will not pay if there is another insurance company that is liable out there. They will require that be settled first or they could be the ones suing on her behalf to begin with (don't know the laws of who has to be named, but do know that she was suing the insurance company not the kid).

                      Too many stupid insurance laws out there and the insurance companies don't want to pay.

                        Also, WTH? Does she walk the 3 floors up with her wrist?

                          She could have done that on purpose. If your insurance company sues, you have to go along with it or they could be withholding payment until the home owners insurance issue was settled. So by making some stupid statement like that, it helps you lose the case.

                          It doesn't sound like she was doing it for a cash grab.

                              Somebody played an adult movie over the intercom at a Target store in California. Yeah just go any news site you will see the story and the video clip of people inside the store stopping in their tracks when they hear it.

                              Also in California, a shopper at Walmart set the Halloween costumes and candy on fire with charcoal lighter fluid.
