The angle at which he fell is what's causing the confusion as to where the bruise came from. He was on his back with his left side closest to the floor, and from what I recall he hit the top of his head, came down onto the floor, and ended up facing about the same direction he was when he was lying down, meaning his right shoulder shouldn't have made contact. We simply don't have an answer for why it's there and that's what's causing them distress.

I know this ultimately isn't as big a deal as I'm making it out in my head but I just feel embarrassed and ashamed. It'll take some time to get over it. Thank you.

I’m 20 and also did a complete 180 when I turned 18 and am living for my inner child, i love happy meals! they’re a perfect portion for when im at work and the toys always end up on my desk displayed. nothing wrong with that at all! too many people are scared to act on “childish” interests once they’re adults, it’s honestly pretty refreshing to see people who are okay with enjoying hobbies at any age

Living in developed country allow us to stay childlike longer than in country where people needs to grow up quickly go get married have children and a respectful job. Don’t try to force yourself but it doesn’t hurt tune down you excitement about things that people in that country thinks it is for children’s only.

These situations always suck, even if it happens with a mobile child.

When a traumatic event happens in front of you; your brain will continue to process it, in wierd ways sometimes.

It is possible that his shoulder also took some of the impact. Unless he made contact with anything else, such as the foot rest of his wheelchair; that would be my assumption. Simple physics.

Even if he hits the top of his head; there's going to be impact bruises on where the body took the hit too.

It is unfortunate that you were left alone with him in a vulnerable place. I will remind you that even swinging arms will cause some movement to the upper body. Place the body on a ledge and then momentum can take over.

I'm sorry that you have to go through this. It sounds like you do really care about the well being of this child and did the best you could.

You generally apply a ice pack or cold compress to bumps in order to minimize swelling. Rubbing is not recommended as that would definitely increase the blood flow to the bump.

Note: bumps and bruises are a normal part of childhood. The parents know that.

I feel the frustration at the waste of money my man, half a sub and a large pizza is close to 30 bucks now days. And that’s from like dominos, a proper pizzeria you were probably pushing close to $40.

My condolences for your pizza my dude.

When I was in high school I often got happy meals for lunch at the nearby McDonald’s because they were cheaper than the school cafeteria lunch ($1.99 vs 2.25). One week they had Hello Kitty toys and there were some fun pink sunglasses that took me a few tries but I finally got. I excitedly brought them to my next class after lunch and my literature teacher grabs them from my desk and says “omg these are so cute! Where did you get them?” happy meal! Her kids were much older than us teenagers so it had been a long time since she had dealt with happy meals and she was so excited I got the cute sunglasses lol!

There's a big difference between childlike and childish. Childish is just being a dickhead. Childlike is showing or experiencing the joy you felt as a child when you'd experience something for the first time. I used to judge both of those people. Now I only judge the childish people. Childlike is dope

I have a (small) collection of My Little Pony figures and plushies and I’m nearly 30. I also still play with legos and there is nothing wrong with enjoying something, especially if it’s not doing any harm to anyone else. Keep being who you are and don’t let the haters get you down.
