This is not Tyler's lucky day at all! While some of our fortunes are consequences of our actions, some things happen in the time and chance that falls on us all. Tyler is not having much success with either way things have been happening to him today. At Walmart, for example, he decided to learn about leverage. Apparently, the 'crash course" last night with Emilie and the bicycle (ahem -who? forgot the helmet???)- wasn't enough. So his remedial course in leverage involved a lab assignment of pulling down on one edge of the shopping cart, while leaving the other side at rest. He determined that this had several results not worth repeating. One of which was the crashing of the cart onto his three and a half year old body. This also made, said three-and a half year old body immobilized until his mom removed the cart. He also realized that carts that fall onto you inflict pain. Additionally, moms who have children who play with carts like this don't let children ride in the carts, instead have them walk through Walmart, which he determined wasn't nearly as enjoyable.

Moving on from leverage, he decided to give gravity a closer look. Ironically, he decided this 'closer look' should occur with his eyes closed. While sleeping, allegedly, he fell off his bed and happened to hit the metal of the mattress - oh what is it called...the box spring. yes. He bruised himself under his armpit on his ribs. Mom checked what she could, comforted, and sent him back to bed with an ice pack, feet elevated and the determination that his body needs to rest and heal and that some days are rougher than others..poor kid. Maybe he'll sleep it off....XX fingers crossed.
