Apparently he was playing in the playground, and walked right in front of a swing... that someone was swinging on. SO yes, his fault.
Anyways there was a lot of blood, a lot of screaming, but all is well. He slept for the rest of the afternoon and didn't wake up until Ramadevi came over to check him over. She suggested a tetanus shot (eeek!) and gave me some butterfly stitches to put on the gash when I got a chance to clean it up. The sooner I put the stitches on she said, the less chance of a scar. He wouldn't let me near his face to clean him up, so I had to wait until he fell asleep...
Poor boy fell asleep early, after a traumatic hour at Ramadevi's house for his tetanus shot and a chocolate cupcake or two. Once he was well and truly asleep, I cleaned off his eyebrow of all the blood, and carefully put the butterfly stitches on. I noticed it had already started healing up a little bit - perhaps he will have a tiny scar...
Ah well, he can make up a good story to go with it.
