jumpjunkie2004 0 #1 August 9, 2006 So...as I mentioned before, I trust everyone. About twenty minutes ago, my 15 year old son asked me to play with him. He promised that he would not drop me, so of course I said "sure". I'm 5' 7 1/2 (146 lbs or so) - He's 6' 2" about 210 (I think) He stood in front of me and we held hands with our arms crossed. Then, lowered me down until my head was almost on the floor - picture me in a backbend, but I'm not allowed to use my arms. Then...he dropped me. Here's what really sucks - I had sunglasses on my head - which fell on to the floor before he dropped me. They are now smashed into several pieces : ( He immediately wanted to try again. He swore on his life and mine that he wouldn't drop me a second time. I suggested we try again in a few days...after my bruises are gone.Jump, Land, Pack, Repeat...

( I say "were" because they are no longer glasses) My back is made of this soft fleshy material : ( I'm afraid to look at my back to see what sort of mark I'm sporting : (Jump, Land, Pack, Repeat...

freelyflyn71 0 #12 August 9, 2006 You dumb ass! You trusted your teenage child with your welfare!! O.K., so I would've let my teenage daughter do the same thing to me...I guess we're all way too trusting as parents...lesson learned. The Braver the Bird...The Fatter the Cat.
