Not Sure Who Won





This picture is day 3 (in the morning)  of the black-eye and I'm still not sure who won the fight.
Probably because there wasn't a fight.
He and his friends were playing some sort of tag game, he and another friend decided they were going to corner or tackle another friend, the tackl-ee friend moved when the two boys dove and the top of co-tackler-friend's head collided with Doodle's face.
So I guess you could say the boy who moved out of the way won.

Doodle at the advice of his older brother has been telling people, when they ask, he was attacked by a wild cougar.
It makes me laugh every time.

Day 2 his cheek and eye were more swollen but less purple.
Tonight, the night of day 3, it's even less swollen but even more purple.
I hear it will look a lot worse before it's gone.
But at least it feels better for him.
Looks worse - Feels better, could be considered a paradox!

Which reminds me.
You know the Coldplay song Paradise?
He likes to change the words and sing
Para, Para, Paradox....
and then he laughs really hard
which makes me laugh
Because have you ever heard this kid's laugh?
It's one of those awesome you have to laugh too because his laugh is so joyful kind of laughs,
and I laugh 
because how many 5th graders understand the word Paradox enough to make a joke out of it
and change the lyrics in a song to sing about a it?
Not Many!

So I guess you could probably say I win!

Hey Guy, Sorry about the sore eye. Looks like quite a shiner. Hope it feels lots better soon.
