That’s something I remember my parents saying to me when I would get a bruise or cut and didn’t know how it happened.

The conversation would go something like this:
Me: Ouch, mommy/daddy. I cut myself or have a bruise and it hurts!
Them: How did it happen?
Me: I don’t know.
Them: Well, were you there when it happened?

That is a very valid question I have to say because how could we not be there when we got hurt, we’re the ones who got hurt, shouldn’t we have been there when it happened? Normally, you kick something, walk into something, stub your toe, get a paper cut, those we remember because they hurt like…OUCH!

But then there are the other times, and we’ve all had this happen. All of a sudden, something hurts and you have no idea why or what happened. Case in point, all of a sudden yesterday, my thumb started hurting and I look at it and see that there is a cut right on the left edge and it hurts like hell, I have no earthly idea what happened, but I know I want it to heal and quickly! It’s amazing all the things you don’t realize you need your thumb for! Luckily, I don’t need it right now to write to you!

So, in closing, I have an OUCH and I have no idea what happened to get it because apparently I wasn’t there. Daddy, please kiss the boo boo!
