Welcome to the “The Hawg is a moron” edition of Tell Me Thursday!
Why is The Hawg so dumb? Because I lost track of the days somehow and put up my Wordless Wednesday post on Thursday and am now writing my Tell Me Thursday post on a Friday.
Works been, well, slightly hellish as of late and I lost track of the days somewhere in all of that. Perhaps just a nice, relaxing weekend will help set things right. I’m also using my fall-back excuse – I turned 40-years-old this year and I’m inclined to forget things as a result (that’s the only thing I like about turning 40 – I can whip out the “old, tired man” thing from time to time).
At any rate, the lad in the picture I posted above (and in my Wordless Wednesday post) is my 12-year-old son, Michael. The poor fellow broke his arm at school while (apparently) goofing off. He’ll have to stay in that cast until sometime in October and the thing itches like crazy every now and again. I feel bad for the boy.
Still, he has learned some valuable lessons from all of this. For example, casts are really hard and can do some damage when you hit people with them. Also, just because you’re sporting a cast does not necessarily mean you’ve gotten out of mowing the lawn (hey, I’m not going to do it – that’s one of the things I love about having a son who can mow it for me).
Michael’s been a trooper throughout his broken arm ordeal and will, hopefully, heal up just fine so he can get rid of that cast next month.
As for me, something I learned years ago has been reinforced – when it comes to kids, you just never know what those little rascals are going to do.
This post is part of the famed Tell Me Thursday event. If you participate in Wordless Wednesday, then you should certainly consider taking part in Tell Me Thursday so you can tell the story behind that Wednesday post. Head on over to the Tell Me Thursday site for more details.

Poor kid. But at least it's not summer anymore and he won't be sweating it out with that thing on his arm. I had a cast like that at the age of 12 (sledding gone wrong). The thing that bothered me the most is that the cast wasn't plaster. That meant none of my friend could write their names on it. I had my priorities straight, didn't I?
Aw, the poor thing. I never had a broken bone until I dumped my motorcycle and broke my elbow. Both my kids took turns breaking their wrists a few times. How does he mow with a cast on?
When I needed to work with a company that was a Microsoft CRM Training. Then I knew that I had found software company that means business.
