When you don't obey your Mother!
It's a tough lesson to learn, and I'm very un-sympathetic when my kids get hurt doing something that I told them NOT to do in the first place!
It was a very fine day outdoors so I sent the boys out to play, with strict instructions NOT to go out of the gate. (the gate was still frozen open from our last snow so I couldn't close it.)
Soon, from my station at the dinning room table, I hear little voices and I knew they had gone out the gate - they were "ice skating" and quite enjoying it until Trey boy fell down and couldn't get back up because of the ice underneath him! What did I do? I laughed! And then went and got the camera and took a picture out the window.

But out the window wasn't quite good enough, and he was eventually going to need some help up, so out the door with the camera I went!
He was not pleased that I was taking pictures of him.
He was not pleased that I was taking pictures of him.
E was trying to help him up but with the ice underneath, no luck!
I finally took pity on the poor wet, cold boy and got him up out of the water.
And made him walk to the house, taking pictures all the way!
So next time your Mom says "DON'T go out of the gate", you'll remember why! (maybe...)
