There's been a rash of broken bones in my neighborhood lately.  falling-down Two children in the same family fell on the same day, both breaking their right wrists.

Their mom was hoping for a 2-for-the-price-of-1 deal at the orthopedic doctor's office.

I suggested that she pose them for their Christmas-card picture in their matching casts rather than matching holiday sweaters.

I really shouldn't make light of her situation, considering my daughter's spectacular fall last week.  One of her friends caught it on camera.  I have no idea how she did this, as there was no trampoline involved.  Then again, this is the same child who managed to break her heel while doing handstands in the house last summer.

My neighbor and I are about ready to invest in large quantities of bubble wrap, so we can line our kids' clothes in it.
