Thankful . . . it only required 3 stitches

Our Thanksgiving Day started off with a BANG. Let 'bang' be henceforth defined as a golf club making contact with the forehead of my youngest progeny. Also let 'contact' be defined as accidental whacking by the older sibling. After surveying the damage, we were very disappointed because we thought Charlie and Jonathan would be at the ER all day (usually it's pretty busy down there) having the wound treated and stitched. HOWEVER, the three stitches required ONLY took 1 1/2 hours to complete, included a shot of Novocaine, utilization of a fresh, sterile stitch packet, and they were back in time for the great Thanksgiving day feast!
Best Charlie quote from the incident, "Mom, when they gave me that shot in my head, I screamed as loud as I could."
The above photo is a little like 'Where's Waldo' - can you spot the stitches?
