Conversation between Archer and Amy:
Archer - If you bump your head you loose three brain cells.
Amy - What's a brain cell?
Archer - Umm.... I forgot.
Amy - What if you bump your head really hard, then do you loose more?
Archer - No, you just loose the same amount.
Hopefully that's true, because I really banged my head pretty hard yesterday, and I'd be very happy to only loose three brain cells after my run-in with the cupboard door. The (sort of) funny thing is that Archer just ran into a wall the other day and I was trying hard not to laugh as I comforted him. "Archer, you've lived in this same house your whole life. And that wall has always been in that same spot. Did you forget it was there?" It only took a few minutes for his tears to turn to laughter. It took a little longer for me, I didn't laugh until I saw that a bruise had actually formed above my eye and I just couldn't believe I'd been dumb enough to bang my head the way I did. My only excuse is that I was looking at the floor, trying to avoid tripping over Shelly's bike, and I did avoid tripping. So that was good, I guess. And we got a laugh out of Mom's injury. I mean, I've lived in this house for almost nine years, and that cupboard has always been in the same spot. So how could I have walked right into it?
