poor kid

we had a couple injuries with kids at work yesterday (and a group of girls who kept faking injuries so they could put masking tape on as band aids-- we eventually hid the tape). there was one injury we were still talking about today. after lunch one of the boys went inside to put away his lunchbox and then took a running start from inside to come back out to play. unfortunately he didn't see the large pole about a metre away from the door (the building design is horrible-- why would you put the pole dead centre of the doorway just a metre away?!). he ran straight into it (at running speed) and bounced back onto his butt on the pavement!!! (i was walking towards the door at the time and saw it happen from only a couple metres away). the poor kid. he's one of the really tough ones so you know if he's crying its gotta be bad. he just started screaming for his mummy and i ran to get the ice pack while my co-worker sat with him. my the time i got the pack 10 seconds later there was a HUGE purple bump on his forhead and he was shaking and crying. he also bit his tounge in the accident so there was a bit of blood on the side of his mouth. he calmed down a few minutes later and the initial swelling started to go. we called his mum just to let her know so they weren't shocked when they came to pick him up. she laughed (while my co-worker was calling his mom i was talking to him about watching where he was going and he told me about a couple other times he's run into things--like an inverted corner of a wall at his nannas). he's one of those kids that's just known for stupid accidents. his dad says hes the same way. his bump looked a bit better today and i think he's pretty much forgotten the incident.
