Mommy's a big bully!

Some friends of ours were having their annual summer barbecue on Saturday - their yard backs onto a big playground, so it was a perfect setup for lots of people, even more kids, and an inflatable bouncer! Anyways, Gord and I were tossing a frisbee back and forth when Ben ran up and wanted to play. I told him to get ready, 'cause I was about to throw it to him, and when I did I knew I was in for some trouble. It honestly felt like it was in slow motion, this frisbee that was headed straight for his head! It clocked him right between the eyes and gave him a little cut on the bridge of his nose! He did that cry where it sounds like I knocked the wind out him, like he was having trouble catching his breath. I felt so horrible! I also found it a little funny - not that he got hurt, but how we could see what was going to happen but we couldn't do anything about it 'cause it happened so fast...

Anyways, apparently I'm the newest playground bully.

Um. It's a good thing you weren't playing frisbee with, like, a saw blade.

Isn't it though? Those are a little tricky to catch as it is!
