The kid can be crazy. He was walking at 9 months, by 18 months he was riding a 2 wheel scooter, at 3 no more training wheels on his bike. I caught him trying to jump his bike by age 4. Now this ramping his scooter.

You haven't enjoyed childhood if you haven't gotten stitches and the scars to go along with them.

Buy him a helmet, some knee pads (because a head injury is game over and knees don't heal well) and tell him next time you'll film and post it on youtube. He is a boy, and this is how we learn.

They are reminders for awesome stories in the future, plus chicks dig scares.

I didn't have stitches till I was 25. Lived a pretty crazy childhood as well.... Probably more than most boys.

How the hell I never got stitches amazes me to this day.I just like to think it was all skill.

No doubt, we used to "appropriate" BigWheels and rage the roads at Red Rocks at night.
The cops used to laugh at us.

My nickname within the extended family as a child was "Crash" due to the amount of emergency room time for stitches on a regular basis

my favorite line "Mom, does this need stitches?"

answer was usually "get in the car". grumble grumble where's my purse.


Lots of stitches and scars, no broken bones though and I'm not sure how, I've hit the ground hard many times. lol

I've always said, scars are like tattoos with better stories.......

And as a child of the 80's in the northwoods of MN, I wasn't any better than the boys of the 70's. Amazingly I never got stitches until I was nearly 30 but I did manage a cast and staples to close the incision from installing a couple pins by age 12.

And you were looking for an explanation for the shape you are in now when again???


Realistically it is a wonder any of us survived our youth....

I have a friend that is a paramedic that just tells his kids to go get the super glue. Presumably he has some sort of "medical grade" stuff but typically he fixes his own kids and skips the emergency room visits.

neah, I'm totally screwed up now and I paid good money for someone to fix me. Mom was in the waiting room yet again. lol 19 staples added to my growing list.. I lost count around 52 stitches. Can't remember after the staple incident. :)

Pretty sure that would be scars, not scares...... Then again, some chicks love scares too.
