My First Hardwood Floor Casualty

I thought that all parents know instinctively that the answer to this is always "no."

Drew Dad is right.

I remember my mom's mantra "Why can't I have anything nice.....?" while we all tucked our chins and toed at the floor.

Consider yourself lucky -- Mo scribbled all over our new hardwoods with a sharpie. Once you get the first damage under your belt the rest are a lot easier to take.

I am kinda glad it was me and not the dogs or the baby.

Agreed.

It's always easier to be mad at yourself about such stuff.

I hope your knee is okay and your dignity is intact.

What kind of wood did you put down?

OUCH!!!!!!!!!!

the first scrape is always the worst!

with kids and dawgs.... you end up worrying less and less about each scratch.

yep tho - why.... just one day of it looking perfect - oh....... how many times have I said that.

(when I was 17, got my first "Founders Day" smart dress for a real big occasion at school - bit like your Prom I guess ('cept I never really did the girl clothes thing) - it had this ridiculous flower on it in the neckline which I decided to get rid of... pair of scissors... cut it off - BIG cut in dress... ended up with a stupid feather to cover up the cut. O4FS just ONE dress for one day - ha - no chance!)


hope the knee gets better real quick - floors can be repaired - glad you didn't do yourself major damage.

My knee is black and blue but I'll make it. LOL

Brazillian Cherry.

It looks so good.

my wood floor jumped up and hit me directly on my left hip requiring surgery implanting an artificial device into my body. It's oak.

It's not a scratch. It's character.

We recently acquired a very large, very expensive, very beautiful area rug to adorn the floor in our living room. Our cat threw up on it right away. I knew that was going to happen before we even laid it down. Murphy's Law never lets you down.

Sure she did. It's how they christen things.

Bella Dea, my mother's last dog was a wall eater. Apparently the walls in her new house were especially yummy. Let's just say you are not alone.
