Thank god I wasnt high yet!!!!

Yesterday morning at 8:05 I got a call from my kids school. Some boy opened a convertable umbrella in my daughters face and broke her front tooth!!! I had to go pick her up. It was a cool, rainy morning. The kind of day to just relax, smoke a few bowls and stay in jammies until afternoon. But noooooo. Instead I spent the day on hold with insurance companies, dentist offices, and my husband trying to get this crap all sorted out. After everything was said and done, my daughter has a new (temporary) tooth, and will look forward to more dental work in the future including the possibility of a root canal.

Can I strangle the kid that did this? I wonder if I can get his parents to help me with the dental bills...?

I am soooo glad I hadn't smoked that bowl just yet. I would have looked just great picking up my daughter from school, hehe.

---------------------------------

But today is a brand new day. You better believe I'm smoking that bowl, maybe even two. 9:30 can't come soon enough. That's when the baby goes to preschool.

Counting the seconds...

Damn, that sucks. My eldest when he was 2 fell into a brick hearth front teeth first. They ended up having to pull them. They tried those stupid temp. teeth and they just ended up being a problem. So the ongoing joke around the house until his perms came in was of course. "all he wants for christmas is his two front teeth".
But man, That poor kid hurt for a week after that.
Too bad you can't make the other kids parents cover the med. expenses. It was after all the other kids fault.

Yep! I don't even know if the school notified his parents. I hope I atleast get a formal apology. I may have to call them tonight. I just hate confrontation.

This was a perm. tooth.

Dang, I'm sorry to hear about that. I'm sure the doc will fix it right up.

It was perm?That sux alot

 

[rockydog]

That really sucks, Is she alright?

UPDATE:

The boy brought my daughter gifts today and a card asking for forgiveness. LOL.

She loves her necklace, teddybear, chewing gum (ha, funny) bubbles, and funny pen. I think she's forgiven him. And I have too. This was a sincere, heart-felt apology.

But it sucks that she will require more dental work in her future, but that is life, right?



She's fine. Her tooth is temporarily repaired. Thanks for your concern guys, it means a lot!

 

[SmokinMom]

It was perm?That sux alot

I hope your daughter is doing oaky now. I'd kick that kid's ass if i were her.

ACK...I'm sorry to hear about that! Poor thing, it had to have hurt D:

You should at least contact the other child's parents and let them know about it.

 

[blondewannabe33]

i too am sorry to hear, smokin, and hope she is ok.

well 'mom, you.ve already shown yourself to be a wonderfull mother, now you.ve shown what a womderfull "person" you are by NOT sueing the pants off those ppl.
..Accidents happen...kids are gonna be kids. I find it refreshing to see you willing to forgive the li'l monsters actions..
It appears obvious that it wasn't done in a malicious manner. Though it would be nice if they would help with the med/dental expenses. The gifts and apology show definate acceptance of 'some' responsibility. It may be worth approaching the parents with a proposition.
I hope its as painless as possiblr for her..
