I am converting into a lefty. Why? Because my right hand failed me and I’m stuck in this thing for 4-6 weeks. When my doctor (whose looks resembled a frog) told me to keep this thumb prison on for 6 weeks I just looked at him and said “and by 6 you mean 3, right?” he didn’t like my joke.
Whenever someone asks me what happened I change the story.
I was having a thumb war with sasquatch
I was swimming with little mermaid when a shark attacked her, I punched the shark to save Ariel
I ran into a burning building to save 14 children and tripped on my way out
Sex with a prostitute, it’s dangerous
Obama bit me.
I am an elephant trainer, an elephant sat on me.
I was in a roller derby tournament
The truth is…the true story is very boring.

This is Daniel and James. Two boys that I babysit. This year James decided he wanted to be a Starbucks barista for Halloween, not batman, not spiderman but a barista. When his mother asked him why he wanted to be that his reason was, “Annette likes coffee so I like coffee”
He should win a prize for the best costume. Everyone got a kick out of it.
James rocks.

The following stories are true
The Sneeze
I was drinking a cup of coffee when I sneezed. I hit my nose on the coffee mug which caused my nose to bleed. Don’t worry, I didn’t get blood in my coffee.
The Mattress
I was looking for a key I thought might be hidden under my mattress. (I often sleep with important objects like keys, credit cards, glasses, or my iPhone) I lifted up the mattress to look underneath, just as I lifted the mattress over my head my weak little arms decided to give out. The mattress hit me on the head causing me to fall backwards onto my back in the middle of my room. Basically, inanimate objects are beating me up. I think they are out to get me.
The Exit
I was at a seminar, there was a guy about to get up and read for an hour from one of his novels. I decided to make an exit because the thought of him reading to me for an hour sounded painful. I casually pretended to have a phone call, got up quickly, and headed for the door. What I thought was an exit turned out to be a closet and I didn’t discover that until I was inside the closet. I couldn’t stay in there so I had to walk out of the closet in front of the entire seminar. I quickly left the room after that.
