Sorry DF but I'm gonna have to claim dumb****/worst father of the day. My 2 girls and I were in the yard playing and my 4 year trips and takes a gentle fall in the grass. Now she only fell from her elbow to the ground about 2 1/2 feet. She starts crying saying her arm hurts. Now being she only fell that distance I thought it just shook her up a little bit. So I think nothing of it and she comes inside to my wife. The wife says she's taking her to the emergency room to get it checked and I think she is way overreacting at this point. Just got a phone call saying she broke her arm at 2 places. Now I ask you guys why shouldn't I feel like the worst father in the world? Needless to say I'm depressed as [censored].

wow. my brother broke his arm falling out of a tree. his forearm is shaped like ( now.

Damn dude... that sucks. I hope everything lines back out for her.

its ok bob, i would have done the same thing. shes not dead, so you shouldnt be upset

Well she is better spirits then I am. I'm still pissed at myself even though she says I shouldn't be, nothing like a 4 year old stating the obvious. I just hate having her go through something like this at that young of an age. Thanks guys for the comments.

look at it this way: itll toughen her up. and make that bone stronger.
