The other day Bossy was explaining something with her arms flying all about — which never happens except every minute of every day — when suddenly Bossy smacked her elbow on a doorframe so hard she thought she heard the sound of bone shattering.
Bossy took the above photo in a bathroom mirror to document the elbow’s bruise after less than 24-hours, but when Bossy downloaded the photo to her computer, she couldn’t stop staring at it because the angle of Bossy’s arm, combined with the large welt, reminded Bossy of something. Finally Bossy figured it out:
Happy weekend, Bossy’s council.

June 18, 2010 at 10:42 amSo, did you break it?
Have you checked out my blog? I have a hideous picture of my broken nose and forehead.
Not June Cleaver says
June 18, 2010 at 10:53 amYou’re right. I got a chuckle at your expense. Nice that you can see the humor in even your own injuries.

June 18, 2010 at 10:53 amIce ice ice ice ice ice!!!!!
I too banged my elbow so hard against the door frame.. it’s never been the same since.
I think the nerve was affected b/c of the hit & then the swelling. How I wish I had iced it ’til it turned blue!
Quick! Ice!
Kelly, The Glass Dragonfly says

Sallie (FullTime-Life) says

Kelly says

Cupcake Murphy says
June 18, 2010 at 10:20 pmDear lord gah is that not the whole of life? It’s like the poor man’s version of We Are ALL ONE—sometimes I feel like, at a certain point, it ALL reminds me of something else. And I love that. And I’m quite fond of Bossy for illustrating this so very clearly.
Meg at the Members Lounge says
June 18, 2010 at 11:00 pmBOSSY, clearly that injury did not break your funny bone!
josh says

Cage Free Family says

Timmy says
June 19, 2010 at 2:32 pmWas wine involved in this incident? That thing is the size of a lemon!!!
Shayera says
June 19, 2010 at 4:50 pmOh my! That’s a hellova bruise, Bossy. Ice and rest. And wine. Feel better.
WebSavvyMom says
June 19, 2010 at 8:36 pm–>That is hilarious. The comparison – not the bruise.
amber star says
June 20, 2010 at 11:51 amHope you are feeling better now. I have no icky bruises…just icky rash from an allergic reaction to an antibiotic which is NO fun in the hot summertime.
Timmy says
June 20, 2010 at 7:52 pmHappy fathers day to Bossy’s real husband, not that Cusak guy. Also to Bossy’s bro and of course Bossy’s dad!
Marly says
June 25, 2010 at 8:54 amThat’s some serious flailing! How cool to have evidence of it. I hope some day to speak so passionately that I result in bruises as well…
