Sometimes motherhood bites

As all moms know, motherhood has an ugly side. We don’t often talk about it, but we all know it’s there. I met it head on this last week when my 3-year-old daughter—while sitting in my lap— threw her head back to laugh then snapped her head forward and planted her two front teeth into my forehead. (Note the teethmarks just above the camera/phone.)

Of course, she began crying immediately, and through her sobs she managed to tell me she needed a BandAid—for her teeth!
