Good Golly Miss Molly

 

Who knew that BOWLING could be so dangerous?! This was a night from hell, kids. First up, our concert that we had been looking forward to for 3 weeks. Jerry pulls out the tickets at 5pm, after the kids have eaten and are changing for their big night. What do they say on them? NO ONE under 21. WHAT??? This is the Four Tops, Hits and Holiday Concert not Eminem for heaven sakes. Jerry called the Soundboard and they said No exceptions. Good Gracious! When we got these tickets at the silent auction at the Inspiring Greatness Special Olympics there was no indication that there were age restrictions. We have taken the kids to Springsteen, Great Big Sea,etc and never had anyone tell us they couldn't attend. AAARGH! We were so disappointed. So we scrambled around to try to find a fun activity to do and came up with bowling. Most lanes have leagues and were not open to the public, but Hartland was a go. Unfortunately they have a step right on the lane(how do the drunk singles and unstable seniors manage this on their bowling day?) Jerry warned Molly about it, but on her second time out she missed it and went down. Her bowling ball dropped on her hand! Jer tried to jolly her along, encouraging her to buck up, which usually does the trick with Molly. When he realized that it wasn't working and she was crying harder by the second he gave me a call and I picked her up and headed to the ER. X-rays, medication and lots of comfort later the results are: Broken finger tip bones in pinkie and ring man-splinted and coddled for a week or two. Molly can still run and she can move them as she feels up to it. And then smiley Molly, once home and helped into PJ's she was all smiles again.  So Thanks for nothing Four Tops! And get well soon Molly1
