This message is from: "Denise Delgado" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> running with sticks.........when my little nephew was about 2-1/2, he was drawing with a pencil, on the kitchen table beside his mom. he stood up on the chair, lost his balance and fell to the ground. he started crying and she picked him up and all of a sudden noticed the pencil sticking out of his forehead.!! no joke, this really happened. she freaked to say the least. he ended up in surgery to remove the pencil. luckily it did'nt penetrate the brain tissue but did puncture the brain lining. he is a normal teenager now. very lucky kid!!!! denise
I have a nephew that is blind in one eye for a very similar reason. Running with a pencil that had the eraser removed so the end was a nasty sharp jagged piece of metal. It gives a whole new meaning to the old "Your going to put your Eye out with that" you probably heard from Mom when you were a kid.
He too is grown up now and does ok with the one eye. Mike
