I'm making it official..

[buggi]

My 15 month old nephew was sitting on my lap and I made the foolish mistake of giving him my helmet when he was curious ...

I think the resulting blow has broken my nose.

So I'm making it official.. Helmets are dangerous!

PS I'm not actually joking. The pain was so bad I wasn't sure at first where he had actually connected. Even my front teeth hurt, but now two days later I have a dark purple bruise on the end of my nose,a blood shot eye (no need for Halloween make up then) and the cartilage part of my nose is extremely painful to touch (can that bit actually break???) .

Clearly he's a good aim.

Ouch, nothing more to say.

Apparently I gave my dad a black eye at a young age with a well aimed left hook with a toy car.

You will have a chance to get even later, his damage may be physical, once he's a teenager your chances to inflict psychological damage will be numerous

Ouch @buggi!
Did the helmet crack?

 

[Accy cyclist]

Yes did the helmet break?! If it did it wasn't fit for purpose some on here would say!

 

[alicat]

Ouch! The more logical conclusion is that children are dangerous. Always keep at arm's length.

 

[Mrs M]

Ouchya, hope it's not broken (your nose).

Ouch @buggi!

It's already cracked!! haha. I only wear it to hide my morning hair

 

[Easytigers]

Ouch! Hope it heals quickly but good timing in terms of it being Halloween like you said!

 

[Rickshaw Phil]

Ooh. Ouch!

I hope it's not actually broken and that you'll heal soon.

Treading on thin ice there.

Clearly ice hockey helmets are the way forward. Still hurting but not as bad. A drunk friend "hugged" my face last night. It was uncomfortable to say the least!

Technically, unless the purpose of the helmet is smacking unsuspecting relatives around the chops then whether it broke or not is irrelevant.

GWS @buggi

Did you call the police?


Yeah those little ones are lethal!

 

[twentysix by twentyfive]

Did you smack the little blighter back @buggi?

 

[Crackle]

I read of some woman who was suing her nephew after an over enthusiastic 8 year old hug caused her to fall and break her wrist, leaving her, she said, unable to even hold an hors d'oeuvre tray.

I know where I'd put the hors d'oeuvre tray so it wouldn't wobble.

I honestly don't know how I restrained myself haha
