OW!

My little princess is proving to be more and more like me. I am told by most people she looks like me, just with a lighter complexion. She has curls like me and is tall like me. She also has been blessed to inherit my grace, or the lack there of. She is a klutz like me and tends to get hurt a lot.
Now just since moving between the two of us we have gotten hurt a lot. Today for example, she had to go to the urgent care today after running into a door jam and gashing her chin open. It split pretty good. Thankfully it wasn't that deep and we ended up with just steri-strips. She also banged her knee good.
Today I was leaving Costco with my Dad, it was raining, I was wearing flip flops. (Haven't found my other shoes yet, haven't looked either.) My Dad took off so I was running to catch him, I had just walked out of Costco. Did you know that wet concrete is very, very slippery? It is, I totally fell, almost doing the splits, but I landed really hard on my right knee. It hurt. A lot. I got up and caught back up with my Dad to be informed that he had beat me. Gee Dad, not hard when I am lying on the concrete. But whatever. So now I am limping a little. This is just one of the ordeals my little princess and I have had.
After 25 years of this I have learned to laugh, and hope she will do the same. I see a little piece of me in her everyday. It totally cracks me up, and so far she seems to handle it quite well. It makes it a little easier to be able to laugh about it. But man, sometimes it leaves you hurting pretty good. We need to invest in some good protective wear! We would be much safer.
