A kid falls out of a tree: “I'm fine!”

An adult sleeps on their neck at a slightly askew angle: “I have to turn my whole body to look at you for the next week.”

Plus a bottle of Advil in the car and another in the motorcycle and another in my work bag. ...
Peak adulting.

Alternatively...

Kid falls out of tree: Screams to high heaven..*ten minutes later*...completely fine

Adult steps out of car slightly wonky: Zero visible reaction...*ten years later*...incapable of handling sports, running and steep hills

@batkaren So TRUE! Or when we watch kids or even young adults fall - like on the basketball court and pop right back up! It makes me think "If I fell on a basketball court, they would need a backhoe to pick my fat a$$ up off the floor." Was I EVER that young? LOL

@batkaren OMG. That is so me. I am currently back into trying to optimize my pillow stack to avoid neck issues. Oh, the brands and sizes of pillows I have bought and discarded.
