A scary phone call

As a parent, one of the scariest moment is when you get a call from the school nurse. It's not that school nurses are nasty or scary people. Nope, it's the news they bring that scares you. I think when I got the call, I held my breath till I heard all she had to say. On Thursay morning, as I was walking to the Lecture Hall, my phone rang. It was the school nurse. I was informed that King-Li fell while playing. He cut his leg and chip his tooth. I was at least an hour's drive away so, his dad had to take him to the dentist to get his tooth fix. Though I had imagined blood dripping everywhere, and he was hysterical and in a lot of pain, King-Li later told me that he didnt even cry and that he was ok. What a brave little boy! Scared the life out of me though.

Thank you God for keeping my boy safe.

My. That must have been awfully scary. Thanks God he is OK.

Part and parcel of growing up, eh?
