Just had to share this. My ds aged 8 was playing with 5 or 6 other kids in a friend's garden this evening - they were play fighting with sticks, some kind of war game - and my ds got hit in the face with a stick which had a nail in it (or it was thrown at him, it happened so fast no one knows). He ran in screaming & covered in blood, and he's now at A&E with my dh.
He's going to be fine but has quite a deep cut above his upper lip & it will prob need stitched. You know how we're always telling our kids to be careful when they're playing with sticks, using them as swords etc - this really upset me today & it scares me to think it could have been his eye or something.
Thanks for letting me share that. I feel crap as I was in the kitchen only half watching and was busy chatting to my friend.
