The Karma Doesn't Fall Far from the Tree
I rarely feel the need to punish Mr. Husband when he does something mean. All I have to do is wait, and the universe will punish him for me. That time he called me a moron for putting a giant comforter in the washing machine and flooding the basement? It was only a matter of minutes before he slipped on the stairs and fell on his bum bum. If he makes a snide remark about the fact that I'm domestically challenged, give it ten minutes. He'll smack his head on the door of the kitchen cabinet he left open. When he gives me grief about spending too much money, he invariably drops a heavy object on his own foot.
I have no hand in any of the incidents. I just wait for Karma to catch up to him. It ALWAYS does.
I guess since Karma is so used to hanging out around our house, she has decided to pay a little visit to The Toddler. After she was so cruel to that little girl on Friday? She ended up with this face:
(It looks 417 times worse in person, btw.)
I would like to say that I'm all sorts of ticked off that it happened at daycare, but the fact of the matter is that she was walking outside, holding hands with Abby, and randomly fell flat on her little piehole. I'm going to have to go with it just being one of those things that happens when you're 2-years old and klutzier than an elephant in high heels walking a tight rope.
That, and Karma is a bitch.

At first I thought you were going to say that girl she was mean to haulded off and slugged her! Dude. That must have hurt!
Ouch. When your done with the karma can you send it my way I have a kid who needs to be taught a lesson or two...
Ouch, make that a 'you're' done with it send it my way. I hate these typos.
Damn the karma. I immediately pouted when I saw that shot of her. POOR THING was my immediate response. I'm guessing she got a little extra pampering!
Awww! My bottom lip is right out there with hers.
Oh, poor thang :( That looks like a nasty owie. I hope it heals up soon.
But seriously. If karma's hereditary, my kid's screwed!
That is awful! Poor thing! Sophie did the exact same face plant when she was Alexis' age and got the same icky mark. Plus she was black and blue for like 4 days! Totally looked like a sucker punch.
It goes away though. Giant teddy bears and lots of hugs and candy worked like a charm. Sophie liked it too;)
Yep, Karma is totally a bitch. That's what I think when my own toddler is throwing a temper tantrum complete with arm flailing and jumping up and down and then for no clear reason, trips and falls.
Is it wrong to say I told you so to a 2 year old?
I posted last week about my attempts at getting karma on my side. Maybe I need to try your approach, and do nothing and wait for it to come to me!
