Why is anger my immediate reaction to my daughter getting injured? All I can think is, "FUCK I TOLD YOU NOT TO JUMP ON THE COUCH AND NOW YOU KNOW WHY!!"
But instead I take a deep breath and while she screams bloody murder I say, "Are you alright?" while I pick her up off the floor. I examine her for wounds (she is fine but apparently was terrified her "skeleton would be poking out") and explain to her gently that THIS IS WHY WE CAN'T HAVE NICE THINGS this is why I tell her not to sit on the arm of the couch/jump on the couch/lay on the back of the couch/do anything I tell her not to do.
Jesus Fuck.
