A math lesson

Ethan + Skateboard - Helmet + Concrete = one worried/pissed off mom driving to the emergency room.

He is fine, but will be a little sore for the night. He was lectured by every hospital employee he came into contact with about not wearing a helmet. He is also grounded from his skateboard and bike for what is as of yet an undecided amount of time, because in our house the rule is if you are on a skateboard you have on a helmet and wrist guards, minimum.

Glad he is ok. These lessons are hard to learn, for the mom. Somehow the boy always seems to think he is invincible!

He is shocked that I won't let him on his skateboard without a helmet. It doesn't matter how many times I have tried to explain why to him, either. Finally, it just had to be "because I said so!"

The emergency room doctor told him that the first month that the skate park here in town was open they had at least one broken bone a day. Maybe that will sink in?!
