Scene of the crime

Our kids wake up stupid early. At about 6:15am, Shep was yelling because he didn't have enough pacifiers. I got him settled, and tried to go back to sleep. About 15 minutes later, Neko started sobbing about her chapped lips which are cracking. Lip balm applied, I sent her back to her room. I was just getting comfortable when a blood curdling scream came from the bathroom.

I won't go into details, but Shep had an encounter with the toilet lid. It was probably dark, and he shut the lid a little too enthusiastically, and, well, something got smashed between the bowl and the lid.

Did all the male readers just pass out?

It must have been excruciating. He recovered fairly quickly, but it'll probably be a week or so until things heal up.

Until then, we're applying Neosporin and trying to keep a straight face as he retells the story to anyone who will listen.
