Soccer injuries...

Last Saturday, Connor played in a soccer game, went for the ball, and he and a kid from the other team collided.  I happened to miss the whole thing because I ran to my car to retrieve a blanket...so when I came back the other parents were all, "Heather, you totally missed it!  Connor totally collided with another kid!"  I walked over to the bench, asked him if he was ok, he nodded, "I'm fine", so I returned to my seat. But when he didn't play a whole lot of the rest of the game, I wondered what was up.  So after the game, I took a look at his eye, and saw this...

It looked like a huge tumor had grown under his eyebrow.  He couldn't see very well out of it...

I wonder why??? :)

The next day it looked like this...I made him go to church anyway...mean mom. 

On Monday, he went to school, and as he walked into one of his classes he pretended to bang into the doorway.  Covering his eye, he started to moan,

 "Oh, that really hurt!" 

He sat next to his friend, still holding his eye,

and his friend asked,

"Are you ok?"  

Connor removed his hand, and said,

"does it look swollen to you?"

His friend freaked out, "Dude!  It's totally black!!"

 He got a good laugh out of it, and needless to say, lots of attention that day!
