Did anyone else laugh out loud at the sight of Cat Deeley's latest Instagram post?
Showing off a snap of her sporting a shiner, the mum of one wrote:
Aaaaaaadriaaaaaan! Adventures of Rocky.... GBH by a 14 month old with a deadly musical instrument.
It seems her son got a little carried away during a musical jamming session and ended up giving her a shiner instead of strumming her a tune.
What a Cat-astrophe. Sorry...
But anyone who has ever sustained an injury at the hands of a toddler will see the funny side, no?
I well remember a stage when my lads were little when they always seemed to leap up in an excitable frenzy at exactly the wrong moment, guaranteeing that the tops of their heads would collide with the bottom of my chin, causing me to bite my tongue.
Yowee, the memory of that actually still smarts. I literally used to see stars.
But my best toddlers-inflicting-injuries story belongs to my husband. When he was a tot he was sitting on the lap of a family friend, singing nursery rhymes and larking about when he suddenly got the urge to punch said family friend in the guts. (Charmer, eh?)
Having not yet mastered impulse control, he followed through. Naturally the family friend flinched and the next thing my husband remembers is his teeth being embedded in the forehead of the family friend.
Once I stopped laughing I did ask my husband what happened next but all he recalls is being carefully separated from the family friend, and the fact that the family friend never really showed any interest in playing with him ever again after that.
See? Cat Deeley got off lightly.
So come on; I want to hear your best (worst?) stories of toddler-inflicted injuries.
