I would encourage you to dissuade your children from running with forks. If they must run with a kitchen utensil, tell them to choose the common spoon,
shewolf, do not be too alarmed. I think the kid might be ok, just a few scars to carry with him...
Maybe if the mother would have had the decency to give the kid a good haircut this whole thing wouldn't happened. He probably was eating and saw his reflection in the mirror and took off running, screaming, forgetting that he had the fork in his hand.
I'm guessing the incident was booger-related.
A kid that age doesn't have much experience with those hard to reach ones encrusted against that hard cartilage, or his "turbinates," if you will. He doesn't yet know to employ his pinky in a slight twisting fashion in order to excavate.
So he reaches for the fork.
