Kyler must love the hospital!

Or so it seems... I know he hasn't really been there very often but sometimes it just feels that way.  Kyler loves to hang out at the park with his friends.  He is always there!  Rain, shine, freezing cold or warm, they are at the park playing.  I love it!  I have always loved when my kids play outside!  I have even told Kyler that he can cause a bit of trouble!  That's what boys do, right?  Anyway, he and his friend came home from the park one day and for about an hour just did whatever boys do around the house.  As I was helping Wes lift a huge piece of furniture up the stairs Kyler wanted to show me the "scratch" he had gotten on his leg.  I kind of waved him off rudely because I was too busy to look at a scratch right then!  Anyway a little bit later he finally got me to look at it.  It was not a scratch!  He had a hole in his leg!  I kind of panicked (which is fairly normal for me) and I yelled for Wes to look at it.  Wes then proceeded to panic a little.  That made me freak out totally and Kyler got a bit teary-eyed.  We figured if Wes was panicking it was bad!  So, off to the Hospital we went.  On the way there we asked Kyler what happened.  Here is his story...
I was running at the park, tripped on a root and fell and the stick stabbed me!
Hmmm, doesn't make too much sense, but why would he lie to us?  So I asked if he were running backwards.  Because that might make more sense...the wound was on the back of his thigh.  Nope.  He said he was running forwards and fell.  Something is a little fishy.  We then asked if he was sure it was wood, it looked a little too clean to be wood.  Maybe it was metal or glass?  Nope.  A stick.  He was going to stick with this story.  We even tried to scare the truth out of him.  Telling him that if it was something like metal he would need a tetanus shot or he could get gangrene and possibly lose his leg!  No go, still sticking with the stick story!
A few days later I was talking to the friend that was at the park with Kyler and asked if he had heard that Kyler got stitches.  He said he had and asked if Kyler told me how it happened.  I was quite intrigued and told him the story I was told.  He just laughed and told me that is not even close to the REAL story!  So I then told him to spill it!  The true story is that Kyler was climbing a fence with spikes on top, slipped and one of the spikes stabbed him in the leg!  Now that seems a bit more realistic!  He is such a funny kid!  I have never gotten mad at him for getting hurt or for climbing trees or fences or anything!  I want my kids to enjoy life and if climbing trees and fences makes them happy, then go for it!  I just don't get why he would not tell us the truth!
Anyway, long story short, Kyler got a fence in his leg and got two stitches!

Here we are at the hospital waiting...
