Like a Rock

I think I am going to sue the East Baton Rouge Parish School System. Why? Because, they fed me (and all of my classmates) disinformation in science class. That’s right. And while I’m at it, I’m going to sue the textbook publisher (I believe it was Houghton-Mifflin), because they also fed millions of school-age kids misinformation. In fact, I bet that you too were fed the exact same misinformation, and I’ll prove it. Answer this question: What is the hardest substance known to man? I’ll bet you just said, “A diamond.” And guess what? You’re WRONG!

The hardest substance on Earth is not, in fact, a diamond, it is my son’s head.


Seriously. I’ve bonked myself in the head on accident with my engagement ring – no pain generally. But the head-butting that my sweet little boy is capable of can quickly bring tears to my eyes and bruises to my face. And while I’m sure that the hardness of his head is quite necessary, given the many times per day he falls down, falls over, or simply tests the density of an object with his cranium, the necessity doesn’t make it hurt any less. Especially considering how much he does it. I am regularly assaulted by my 13-month-old. Sure, he’s all cute and smiley and usually finishes his session of head-butting by giving me a huge grin and a hug, but that doesn’t negate the fact that I am a victim of battered mommy syndrome. My cheekbones ache from being bashed in by Ian’s remarkably thick skull. I’m surprised haven’t lost a tooth or two thanks to his head-ramming behaviors.

So, you can see why I am upset by the education system not properly warning me as to the toughest substance known to man. I might have taken precautions if I had known – like buying stock in Tylenol.
