Facetime call from the spawn this morning to tell me she'd been in hospital till 5am this morning as she'd tripped over last night and smashed the top of her forehead into the conservatory door frame and she's got concussion and a dent in her head. I have to admit my secret thoughts went straight to "her husband better not have done this" because the explanation of how it happened seemed quite suss. She said she'd tripped on the leg of her wide-leg trousers. I knew that her husband had just taken sos to football training so I asked her "please don't take this the wrong way but are you sure husband didn't do this to you?" and she said she'd also been asked that several times at the hospital and in the end she'd downloaded the video from her Ring camera to show them so they'd stop asking. She sent the video to me after the Facetime and Mr F and I have watched it about fifteen times because it's so funny. You don't see the actual "event" but you see her get up from the settee to go towards the conservatory, as she starts moving her foot gets tangled in her flappy pant-leg and she kind of flies sideways out of the camera's range, then you hear a shriek then "Oh shit, ow" and she comes back into view holding her head then she says to herself "oh no, I think I might need daddy for this" and walks towards the downstairs toilet saying "ow" a lot. Then she disappears from view again (to look at her head in the toilet mirror" then you just hear "Ooooooh, husband, come here quick, I need you!".
She definitely got a full whack of her dad's clumsiness gene.
