Last week the kids and I were loading wood into the house for the wood furnace. (It's starting to get cold.) An efficient assembly line was worked out, each person having about 5 feet to toss a piece of wood to the next in line. My chant was"Heads up! Look before you throw!" It all went very well until ...
Beth (6) was arranging a small pileup of wood about halfway through the assembly line and tossed a piece on my foot. My socked foot. I wailed, banged my hand on the wall (no swearing though!) yelled "Beth!" and instantly hobbled upstairs for some ice. After inspecting my numb, tight toes and deciding they weren't broken, I hobbled back down the stairs to find Beth and apologize for yelling at her.
"I'm sorry, honey, I shouldn't have yelled at you, but it really hurt when you threw that piece of wood on me."
"But I didn't throw it, I just dropped it from close to your foot."
Oh.
"I'm sorry your Mom's a wimp."

Ouch...glad you didn't break it. What a nice way to stack wood, well except for the foot injury.

Ow... yeah, I probably would of done the same thing!
I had to laugh when you said it's getting cold there - I bet it's colder than our winter! I like the way you stacked wood together - shame about hitting your toe though - ouch!
