Oh Wonderful

Coming up with the title for tonight was tricky.  I could have easily gone with The Tree and The Trampoline part 2 but I settled on Oh Wonderful.  What does Oh Wonderful have to do with yesterdays post?  Why, thank you for asking.  "Oh wonderful" was pretty much how I responded to a phone call from Natalie informing me that Jack had flipped off the trampoline and landed on his head.  He was pretty shaken up and had hurt his knee, his back, his head and other parts of his body.  Thee good news is that he is going to live.  When I asked him how it happened... "I jumped out of the tree onto the trampoline and shot out in the air and flipped off the trampoline...".  Yep, that sounds about right.  Then he got a little emotional and talked about how he wished he would have listened to me and not jumped out of the tree.  And so we talked about how we learn in our lives.  Sometimes we learn through others mistakes, by listening to their voices of warning and avoiding certain pitfalls.  The other way we learn is when we hit that pitfall and experience the pain it brings for ourselves.  Well, I don't know that I need to worry any longer about the trampoline and the tree as Jack is ready to remove the tree completely, Oh, Wonderful!
