So, Baby Fugee broke his arm.
Behold Baby Fugee with a pink cast (as if I didn’t already have issues with him being a boy and wearing pink and purple all the time):
We went over to the Fugee house the other day to take them out for our weekly American Extravaganza which so far has included A MOVIE! A TRIP TO THE GROCERY STORE! A TRIP TO THE ACCOUNTANT! McDONALDS! TACO BELL! DRIVING INSTRUCTIONS IN A MORMON CHURCH PARKING LOT! and THE ZOO! Pretty ingenious and exciting tour guides aren’t we? Low expectations people, that’s our motto.
Really, the movie trip and the driving instructional hour deserve their own detailed posts, except to say that the Fugees now believe everyone wears 3-D glasses when going to movies since their very first movie experience happened to be a 3-D cartoon AND our car now makes a strange squeaking noise ever since Mama Fugee FLOORED IT, drag race style, DIRECTLY INTO A CURB. Yeah. I had a brief moment there where I seriously reconsidered doing volunteer charitable-type work anymore.
So, where was I, oh right, Baby Fugee’s arm.
We get to their house, they welcome us in as usual, we chat for awhile, go over some bills, tell some funny stories and then load up into the car. As Mama Fugee is loading Baby Fugee into Delaney’s old car seat, Baby Fugee belts out a mortifying wail. We all look a little alarmed.
Then Mama Fugee goes, “oh yes, one thing, please? Baby Fugee arm - mmmm, not so so good.”
Mike, my incredibly sexy Nursing Student Husband, sprang into action and sussed out the arm situation. Mike’s report was not good. There was a Massive inflamed bump on his arm and he bursts into tears if anyone came near it.
We ask what happened.
“Baby Fugee fell swing 2 day ago”
WHA!?!?! “It’s been like this for 2 DAYS!”
“Um, yes?” (confused)
“You need to call us for things like this! Call us and we can come help you! This is not good! You need to call us, remember?!”
“Oh, yes, yes, okay.”
Alright. Fast forward through 4 HOURS at the emergency room in which every single person asked me to translate for them in which I replied that I am not a translator and then every single person called Baby Fugee a she (there’s that pink shirt thing again) in which I replied that he is a he. Etc Etc Etc Etc. Broken in 2 spots. Seriously. On goes the PINK cast because they were out of every other color. I give up. Put the pink cast on, whatever.
So that was that! They loaded us up with painkillers and we had to make a detailed chart for 4 days telling them EXACTLY when they could give him the meds and how much of the meds they could give him and we went on our merry way.
So, the kid has a broken arm.
But it doesn’t stop him from gettin jiggy wit it whenever he is over at the Whitey’s house:

Aww, poor Baby Fugee. I can’t believe he was like that for 2 days. Cripes!

If you hadn’t come along when you did, I wonder how long his arm would have remained that way. In fact, I wonder how many people from whereever they came from just let broken bones heal whatever way they are without any cast or pain medication. Glad you were there!

Baby Fugee is TOO CUTE! I really just want to eat him up, pink cast and all! Don’t be so hard on the pink-preference–it does look really nice with his skin tone and real men wear pink, right? Maybe you should work on getting Mike to wear more, eh?!
Kidding!
Here’s hoping the next crisis wins you a panicked, heavily accented phone call!

Omigosh, thank goodness you all came onto the scene when you did! Poor little guy - a pink cast is a whole lot better than an arm broken in two places without a cast! He is a cutey, too.

He is so stinkin’ cute. He smile lights up those pictures, not the bright pink cast anyway!
What is up with your daughter showing the skin? A little too much Fergie?

Awwww, poor little guy. So good that you helped him out.
